[VPAAEtal] Stay Healthy, Lions!

[Academic Affairs]

Lion Family,

As we approach fall, it's important to be mindful of the potential for cold and flu season. Protecting our health and the health of our community remains a top priority.

Here are a few key steps we can take to minimize the impact of both cold and flu:

1.   Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer when soap isn't available and avoid touching your face.
2.   Stay Home When Sick: If you're feeling unwell, even with mild symptoms, it's crucial to stay home to prevent the spread of illnesses.
3.   Boost Your Immunity: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep to strengthen your immune system.
4.    Consider Getting Vaccinated: Vaccines are available at most pharmacies; in addition, flu shots will be available at the Student Health Center for students, faculty and staff, which may be covered by insurance or as an out-of-pocket fee of $25.00.
5.   Stay Informed: Stay up to date on the latest health guidelines and recommendations from reliable sources.

By proactively following these guidelines, we can create a healthier and safer campus environment for everyone.   Please note that the university will provide personal protective equipment upon request.

Let's continue to look out for one another and make responsible choices to prevent the spread of illnesses.

Stay healthy, Lions!
