According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), students, faculty, and staff who do not elect to receive the vaccine should take the following precautions during influenza season to limit their risk:

• Avoid contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home and do not attend classes or come to work if you are sick.
• Clean your hands frequently with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (such as Purell).
• Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Consult with your doctor about the use of antiviral medications if you do become ill.

The CDC, the American College Health Association, and the Wake Forest University Student Health Service encourage faculty members to remind students not to attend class if they have symptoms of the flu (sudden onset of fever, achiness, cough, fatigue, and sore throat). This will help protect you and others on campus. Of course, any sick student may receive care at Student Health.
