Getting vaccinated each year is the best way to protect yourself – and others – against seasonal influenza.
Annual flu vaccination is especially recommended for college students due to the highly contagious nature of influenza and the close proximity within which students live and study. (See information from the CDC for people who are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications.)
