Be prepared! Check out these tips from <a href=\"http:\/\/health.syr.edu\/\">Health Services<\/a> on how to prevent getting and spreading the flu:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The best defense against the flu is to get your flu shot as early as possible.Even thought we&#8217;re in the middle of flu season, it&#8217;s still a good idea to get yours if you haven&#8217;t already. The <a href=\"http:\/\/health.syr.edu\/pharmacy\/index.html\">Health Services pharmacy<\/a>\u00a0offers flue shots on a walk-in basis, so be sure to get yours!<\/li>\n<li>Avoid others who show flu-like symptoms. This can be tough in close living quarters, shared restrooms and social spaces, but do your best!<\/li>\n<li>Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. For times when you can&#8217;t wash your hands at a sink, use some hand sanitizer!<\/li>\n<li>Always remember to cover your cough and sneeze. Using a tissue is best, but the inside of your arm is ok when you don&#8217;t have access to tissues.<\/li>\n<li>If you think you have the flu, make an appointment to be seen as soon as you can. Health Services is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 8:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/suhsportal.syr.edu\/\">schedule an appointment online<\/a>, or call\u00a0315.443.9005.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Be sure to pick up a flu kit, too! It has helpful information and things like tissues, hand sanitizer and a single-use thermometer to keep you healthy and prepared this flu season. Stop by Health Services or ask your RA to get yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why am I sick right now????
