Last updated: November 10, 2022

What we’re asking

Influenza (flu) season generally occurs in the fall and winter but can occur as early as October and as late as May. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. Getting the flu shot is your best protection.

We would like your help sharing this information to encourage and inform the campus community to get their flu shot.
