Independent Health will sponsor flu shots on Tuesday, October 25, in the Campus Ministry Conference Room on the 2nd floor of Old Main from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Busy schedules can be accommodated by scheduling an appointment with Human Resources at Ext. 2240.  Walk-ins are also welcome.  Please bring a health insurance ID card.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends flu vaccinations for everyone age six months or older.  As a community that strives for lifelong good health, the Office of Human Resources encourages all Canisius faculty and staff to take preventative action and plan today to get vaccinated.
