Get Vaccinated to Stay Healthy
Last Thursday, I visited the annual flu shot clinic at EIU's Union bridge, where I received my flu shot. The clinic was not busy, with a consistent but slow flow of people.
Getting sick can be a significant inconvenience, especially when it forces you to miss class or work. Personal experience has taught me that lying in bed with a cough, headache, and sneezing fits makes it impossible to enjoy even simple activities like watching TV.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, it's possible to spread disease before symptoms even appear. This means that when I contract the flu, everyone I've interacted with in the preceding week or so is at risk of exposure.
Getting sick is no fun, especially when you have to skip class or work because of it.
To avoid this, it's essential to get vaccinated. The flu shot clinic at EIU is a convenient and accessible way to protect yourself and those around you from the flu.
