NMC Health Services has the regrettable distinction of having the first diagnosed and lab-confirmed case of influenza in Traverse City. Influenza B was diagnosed in a student last Wednesday and laboratory-confirmed yesterday. I even received a call from the Health Department. This is a particularly nasty strain of the flu. Symptoms include high fever, body aches, headaches, dizziness, cough, congestion, sore throat, nausea, loss of appetite, and possibly vomiting. The student who was diagnosed with the flu had NOT had a flu shot.
Health Services still has a limited number of flu shots. Please stop by for a flu shot if you haven’t already received one. Do not have your Holiday break ruined by getting the flu!
Free for faculty and staff with NMC Health Insurance. $20 if not.
Students $15 (which is below our cost and cheapest in town)
Have a wonderful and healthy holiday!
