A flu immunization can greatly reduce your chance of getting the flu and can reduce the severity of flu-related illnesses. Getting immunized also makes it less likely you will share the flu with co-workers, classmates, friends and family. Many nearby pharmacies, medical providers and the Santa Clara County Public Health Department offer flu shots. SJSU students can make an appointment at the Student Health Center for a shot (http://www.sjsu.edu/studenthealth/). More information about how to stay healthy this cold and flu season is available at the following websites:
