Student Health Services understands the importance of the Centers for Disease Control's announcements about the recent influenza outbreak. We do not take this lightly. If you have flu-like symptoms, please call SHS at 978-3620. One of our professional staff will assist you. We can see you also, but a phone call would be best first, as we want to limit the possible transmission of viruses to others. Please visit the SHS Web site at http://www.wichita.edu/shs or the Center for Disease Control's Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/flu for more information or any updates.
Here are some Stay Healthy Tips:
1. Cover nose and mouth with tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue away after use.
2. Always wash your hands after you cough or sneeze. Hand cleaners with an alcohol base are also effective. Good handwashing is important anytime you come in contact with others.
3. Keep your hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes if possible. If you do touch them, wash your hands.
4. Avoid being around people who are ill.
