FREE SEASONAL FLU VACCINE FOR EMPLOYEES

 

- September 29, 2011

The SHSU Student Health Center will administer the seasonal influenza vaccine free of charge to employees on Tuesday, October 18th from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and Wednesday, October 19th, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. in the LSC Room 320.  Employees must present their ID card prior to receiving the vaccine.  The vaccine is not available through the Health Center for employees who are pregnant or nursing.

In order to speed the administration of the vaccine, faculty and staff are asked to come prepared with sleeves that can be easily adjusted to expose their shoulder.  There will be an area to disrobe with privacy screens, but an easily accessible injection site will make the process faster and more comfortable.

Employees that miss the flu vaccine administration dates will not be accommodated and will be advised to obtain the vaccine through other means.

For more information about the influenza vaccine or the administration process, visit http://www.shsu.edu/~uhc_www or call 936.294.1805.

NEW MENINGITIS VACCINE REQUIREMENT

- August 4, 2011

The Texas State Legislature passed SB 1107 requiring all entering students at public and private institutions of higher education to provide evidence of vaccination against bacterial meningitis or a signed affidavit declining the vaccination. This requirement will take effect for all incoming Spring 2012 students. SHSU will provide additional instructions once SHSU receives guidance from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

While SHSU does recommend that all students receive the meningitis vaccine, this requirement does not apply to students that will be entering SHSU in the Fall 2011 semester and residing off-campus.
