Flu

The flu season has arrived in the North Texas area, with a large number of cases throughout the state.

The UT Dallas Student Health Center no longer has flu vaccines. If you have not already been vaccinated, we encourage you to check with local pharmacies or your primary care physician to get the flu vaccine. You may also visit flushot.healthmap.org/ to find locations near you that may still be offering the vaccine.

You should seek medical attention and isolate yourself from others immediately if you think you may have the flu. The Student Health Center can diagnose and treat students who show symptoms of the flu.

Here are some simple ways to fight the flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If a tissue is not available, use your arm to cover a cough or sneeze.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

If you are sick with flu-like illness (headache, body ache, cough, fatigue, fever), the CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone, except to get medical care or for other necessities. Students are urged to have a temperature below 100 for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to class.
