posted on Oct. 29: Free campus flu clinics prove highly successful

Almost 2,000 people patiently lined up last week for a free flu shot at the four clinics held on campus, Student Health Service reports.

This was the first time a
free clinic was held for students and employees – the response was
tremendous.

Student Health Service and Employee Health Service said considerations for next year include a larger room,
longer clinic hours and increased clinic staff so that everyone can be accommodated.

If you missed getting your flu vaccine there are still options
available:

students may book an appointment at Student Health Service, ext. 27700

employees may book an appointment with Employee Health Service, ext.
23300

the City of Hamilton is hosting numerous clinics throughout the fall and dates and locations are listed on its Web site at www.city.hamilton.on.ca

Shoppers Drug Mart in Westdale (905-525-7772) is hosting an evening clinic, by appointment, on Nov. 1.
