Be a #HealthyDawg! Keep yourself and the UGA community healthy!
Flu season is upon us. At the University Health Center we are, as you can imagine, starting to see the signs and symptoms of flu trickle in. Below are some simple steps you can take to keep yourself and the UGA community healthy.
Prevent the Flu
Treating the Flu
The flu is a contagious disease that is caused by one of many influenza viruses. It primarily attacks the respiratory tract (nose, throat and lungs). The flu usually comes on suddenly and may include these symptoms: fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, body aches and insomnia.
UGA students can schedule University Health Center primary medical care appointments online at www.uhs.uga.edu, using the UHC Patient Portal.
Or, you can get a flu shot at a #FluGA Mobile Clinic on campus. Click here for the full schedule.
Flu shots are also available at walk-in clinics at the University Health Center from October 1 – November 1: Wednesdays from 8:30-11:30am & 1-4pm and Fridays from 1-4pm.
