The snow is melting, finals are approaching, and then: SPRING BREAK!!!
As you make your spring break plans, whether they involve a sunny beach or a ski slope, or perhaps just a restful time at home or with friends, BuckMD wants you to be safe and healthy. The American College Health Association and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also want to remind you of the risk for H1N1 influenza. Even though the number of cases is much less than in the spring and fall of 2009, there can still be exposures with travel and large grouping of people. Please read this important joint statement for more information.
If you haven’t been vaccinated against H1N1 flu, it is not too late! Vaccine is still available at Student Health, at many doctors’ offices around the community, and at through Columbus Public Health. If you have questions, please call Student Health Services at 293-4321, or email us at: buckmd@studentlife.osu.edu.
