Campus clinic announced for
students-only
flu shots
Our next "Seasonal" flu
vaccination clinic will be Nov. 10, 2009, beginning at
10 a.m. in the USU Pavillion (same location as the
Sept. 23 clinic). The shots will only be available for
students so a valid student ID will be required before a
shot will be administered. It will be on a first
come-first serve basis. There will only be
approximately 120 shots so they won't last long. There
is still no definite notice when the Pandemic Flu H1N1
vaccine will be available on campus.
