U + The Flu


If you didn't open the attachment from the flu e-mail we got here's the info. (It is pretty much common sense)

- If you have a fever stay home! (You can get disposable thermometers from Student Affairs or Public Safety)

- E-mail your teachers and Student Affairs that you have a fever/the flu (your grade will not be docked for having the flu, they are taking this pretty seriously)

- Rest, drink lots of fluids, stay away from other people

- If you are at higher risk for complications (if you are pregnant or have chronic health conditions) call a health care provider
     - Park Nicollet Clinic: (952) 993-3512

Other info I've heard:

- Do not go to the doctor unless you absolutely have to since that will be a hotbed for the flu

- If you are under 24 it is recommended to get a flu shot
