Health Advisory on Influenza

Dear Students, we want to remind everyone to stay alert and take steps to protect yourself and others from the flu. 

Here are some things you can do:

1. Wash your hands often.
Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after coughing, sneezing, or touching shared surfaces.

2. Cover your mouth and nose.
When coughing or sneezing, use a tissue or your elbow — not your hands. Wearing a well-fitted face mask can help lower the risk of respiratory virus transmission.

3. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Keep a safe distance to reduce the spread of germs.

4. Stay home when you're unwell.
If you have a fever, cough, sore throat, or body aches, rest and recover to prevent spreading illness to others. Please refer to these Guidelines for Processing Excuse Slips for Absences due to Sickness (bit.ly/ExcuseSlip-Sickness-Guidelines) and the Excuse Slip Application Form for Absences due to Sickness (bit.ly/uapESAF-2025-26).

5. Get vaccinated.
A flu shot — and other recommended vaccines — are your best defense against serious illness.

Feel free to consult the nurses or doctor on duty regarding health concerns during the following schedules:

USC First Aid Station:
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday)

PSB First Aid Station
6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday)
8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Saturday)

Doctors' Schedule at the USC First Aid Station:
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday)
Female Doctor: M-W-F
Male Doctor: Tu-Th

Taking simple precautions keeps our school community healthy and strong. Thank you for doing your part!
