Student Health Services prepares for flu season
|As the influenza pandemic continues to spread, George Mason University is promoting healthy precautions through its health service organizations.
According to Student Health Services, the flu is a respiratory virus that usually hits between October and April and varies in severity from year to year.
“The flu begins suddenly with high fever, body aches and fatigue,” SHS says on their website.
Student Health Services provides students with flu shot
|Flu season has begun, and Student Health Services is making it easier to get vaccinated.
SHS held a flu shot clinic Thursday, Nov. 1 in the Johnson Center. This was the second flu shot clinic this year that was held outside of Sub I, SHS’s regular location.
Every flu season, SHS holds three to five flu shot clinics outside of Sub I as needed, according to Rachel Noble Benner, Case Manager and Special Projects Coordinator for Student Health Services. Past clinics have been held in the JC, Dewberry, and the Hub.
