Influenza symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who have influenza (commonly called flu) often feel some of these signs and symptoms: fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness).

The best time to receive your flu shot is by the end of October.  This will allow you to have immunity during the peak influenza season.   

The best way to prevent influenza is with an annual influenza vaccination.  

The flu vaccine can help you from getting the flu or make you less sick if you do get the influenza. It’s important to remember that if you contract influenza, you could pass it on to your friends, family, or coworkers. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to get their flu shot and help contribute to the good health of our campus community. 

Influenza viruses are constantly changing. Every season, the flu vaccine is updated to protect against the influenza viruses that are found to be the most common during the upcoming season. In addition, immune protection declines over time; the annual flu shot boosts your immunity each year.

If you are unable to attend one of the flu clinics, a nurse visit at the Student Health and Wellness center can be scheduled online or by calling 414-229-7429.  

The cost of the flu shot is $15.  We do not accept insurance.  The Student Health and Wellness Center accepts cash, check, debit card, Visa, and Mastercard as a form of payment.  Payments accepted at the Union Fireside Lounge and Sandburg Flicks are cash, debit card, and all major credit cards.

Influenza vaccines are documented in the Wisconsin Immunization Registry within 24 hours of receiving the vaccine.  The Wisconsin Immunization Registry can be accessed through their website-https://www.dhfswir.org.  You can also ask for documentation at the time of your flu shot.
