Living in college dorms and apartments often means that students are exposed to germs and illnesses at a high frequency. As the winter months quickly approach, flu season is just about upon us. The Gustavus Health Services offered a flu shot clinic today in an effort to keep students healthy.
From 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. students were able stop by the Jackson Campus Center and get a vaccine. The cost was 20 dollars, and no appointment was necessary. I arrived in the afternoon to get my shot. The whole process of arriving and receiving a vaccination took no longer than 25 minutes.
Many senior nursing majors from Gustavus admininstered the shots. My shot was given by a guy named Tom, and he did a wonderful job. The flu shot was nearly painless, and hopefully I will be better protected against the flu in the coming months.
I greatly appreciated that Health Services offered this flu shot clinic. It was convenient, and sent a clear message that the safety and health of Gustavus Students is a priority on campus.
