Still time to get flu shot

Flu season is still in full force.

Human Resources is reminding the Brock community that there is still time to get a flu shot.

The decision to get vaccinated is ultimately up to each individual and consultation with a health professional, walk-in clinic or local pharmacist is recommended.

A list of locations where the flu shot is available can be accessed through the Government of Ontario website.

While the 2016-17 winter has been mild so far, change appears to be on the horizon.

According to The Weather Network, a cold air mass has settled over southern Ontario.

Colder temperatures and reduced humidity offer favourable conditions for the influenza virus to thrive.

In an effort to minimize the spread of the virus, Custodial Services continues to be vigilant by cleaning and sanitizing high-touch areas.

Health, Safety and Wellness, within Human Resources, is encouraging people to watch an informative video created by fourth-year Nursing students to educate the Brock community on how to stay healthy during flu season.
