It’s that time of year again…
Cold and flu season.
Last week, Temple Health released an email to students saying the flu has arrived at Temple,
Stephanie Berger, a junior, said she received the flu shot back in the fall, but she still became ill.
“It was not fun, I can tell you that. I did get checked out by Student Health Services and they confirmed it was the flu, so that kinda put a damper on my school work.”
Temple Student Health says they have seen more cases of influenza this year compared to last, but sophomore Quentin Nietz says he isn’t worried about the flu.
“Every time I get the flu shot I usually get the flu and I haven’t gotten the flu shot in the last several years and I haven’t gotten the flu.”
Temple Student Health has other suggestions to help students keep the flu at bay.
- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
- Keep yourself hydrated with lots of fluids
- If your experiencing flu-like symptoms, stay home, and avoid coming In contact with people while you still have a fever.
Temple students are encouraged to visit Temple Student Health if they are feeling any flu-like symptoms, including a fever, sudden dizziness, nausea, or difficulty breathing. You can contact them at (215)-204-7500 to schedule an appointment.
