Foothill College will offer more H1N1 Flu vaccinations to the remainder of our campus community if the college receives another allotment of vaccines.
Foothill College continues to work closely with Santa Clara County Public Health Services to monitor H1N1 influenza in our community and to make decisions about the best steps to take to protect the health of Foothill students, faculty and staff. We will continue to update the Foothill community as information becomes available. Continue to review the Foothill Web site for the latest information regarding the availability of vaccinations on campus.
In the meantime, educate yourself by reading accurate flu awareness information, including who should and should not get vaccinated, and additional information that's posted at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/. If you have questions about allergies, vaccine contraindications, and whether you should or should not get vaccinated, call the Foothill College Health Services Office at (650) 949-7243.
Here's what you can do to help with flu-prevention efforts:
- Always cover your mouth and nose by coughing or sneezing into your bent elbow;
- Always practice good hand hygiene;
- If you are ill and on campus, report to the on-campus Health Services Office in Room 2126;
- Stay at home if you develop flu-like symptoms. Remain at home until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine; and
- Check with your doctor about getting yourself, your children or family members vaccinated for seasonal flu and H1N1 flu, if you are in a high-risk group.
