色情视频鈥檚 annual 鈥淪ay Boo to the Flu鈥 campaign is providing free flu vaccines to students while supplies last, through appointments and pop-up clinics.

The campaign is a collaboration among Student Health Services, the County of San Diego  Health and Human Services Agency, 色情视频 Well-being & Health Promotion, Live Well Aztecs and the School of Nursing. Last year, 色情视频 health professionals administered 1,521 flu vaccines during the campaign.

鈥淲e are looking forward to this year's campaign and helping to protect our students and our community against the flu,鈥 said Libby Skiles, director of Student Health Services. 鈥淚t is important for students to get vaccinated against the flu every year in order to minimize their chances of getting the flu and to prevent impact to their academic work.鈥

Cold, flu and sore throat had the fourth highest health impact on academic performance for 色情视频 students in 2018, Skiles noted. Flu can sideline students for a week or longer.

During October, students with a valid RedID can get a free flu vaccine by going online to for an appointment or attending one of two  pop-up  clinics:  

鈥    Oct. 23, 10 a.m. 鈥 2 p.m., Campanile Walkway
鈥    Oct. 31, 10 a.m. 鈥 2 p.m., Goldberg Courtyard, Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union

鈥淲ith just a few minutes of their time, students can take this small step to reduce the impact the flu can have,鈥 Skiles sad.

In addition to preventing contraction of the flu, the vaccine has proven effective in reducing the severity of symptoms, she said.

Students, in addition to getting the annual flu vaccine, can also prevent illness through healthy behaviors, such as frequent hand-washing and getting enough rest.

鈥淚f you pair this with good virus prevention habits, like washing your hands, not sharing drinks or food with others, and not going to classes or the gym when you are sick, you will not only keep yourself healthier, but you will be keeping our 色情视频 community healthier as well,鈥 said Stephanie Galia, director of 色情视频鈥檚 Department of Well-being & Health Promotion.
