With the winter season upon us, many of us are likely to be affected by the influenza (“flu”) virus. Receiving the flu vaccine earlier in the season provides protection throughout the influenza season. Therefore, it is important to get vaccinated as soon as possible to ensure that you stay healthy all winter long.

The flu vaccine is available for free at the Directorate of Health and Wellness for staff and students, while stocks last.
