Announcements
Flu Shot Update: The following was distributed on campus last week by Patricia
Ellis, director of student health services: “In accordance with federal
government and St. Lawrence County Public Health requests, the regularly scheduled
flu clinics have been suspended. We will still offer influenza vaccines to
those persons in high-risk categories as defined by the Centers for Disease
Control. Those persons are age 65 and older; persons under 65 with underlying
chronic medical conditions, including pulmonary or heart disease, asthma, diabetes,
kidney disease, blood abnormalities, or immunosuppression; and women who will
be pregnant during the influenza season. In addition, individuals who can transmit
influenza to high-risk individuals should also receive influenza vaccine. (This
includes) household contacts and care-givers of children less than 6 months,
and health care workers with direct patient contact. If you are an individual
in one of the above categories, please contact the Student Health Center to
schedule a time to receive an influenza vaccine. Thank you for your understanding
and patience. We will resume regularly scheduled clinics when advised to do
so.” For information: Patricia Ellis, pellis@stlawu.edu or 5392.
