Get a Flu Shot-Save Yourself the Misery

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Columbia Barnard chapter.

Trust me, as an asthmatic with severe allergies who visits Primary Care on campus at least five times per semester, you don’t want the flu. Especially during finals season. 

It’s tough enough to write three ten page papers and study for your two sit down finals, for which you have a month of readings to skim, without being stuck in bed and tied to a tissue box.

To prevent this sad situation, Barnard is offering it’s last flu shot fair of the semester, today, in the Diana Event Oval from 3-6 pm.

Flu shots are $20 (free with Aetna Student Health Insurance). 

Make sure to bring your insurance card with you (and a friend to hold your hand if you’re afraid of needles).

If you can’t make it today, you can make an appointment with Primary Care to schedule your flu shot before winter break.

Stay healthy folks!
