Flu Shots Coming Monday 10/24

This is a friendly health reminder from the Center for Counseling & Health Promotion (CCHP). If you have not gotten a flu shot, you still have an opportunity to do so on campus on Monday 10/24/11 from 12 - 3 pm. The Minnesota Visiting Nurse Agency (MVNA) will be administering flu shots in OGC 100 on Monday, October 24th. Most insurances are accepted or you can pay by check or with cash. The cost of the shot is $27.

Influenza is a contagious disease and is spread by coughing, sneezing or nasal secretions. By getting the vaccine you can protect yourself from the flu and may also avoid spreading it to others. In the United States, 36,000 people die each year from the flu or flu complications; 200,000 people each year are hospitalized with the flu. It is the #1 vaccine-preventable cause of death of children in the United States.

Please take care of yourself, your fellow Auggies, and your family and stop by for your flu shot on Monday 10/24. No appointment is needed. The clinic is a walk-in clinic. Please bring your insurance card (or cash or check) and an ID.

Cribs and Baby Stuff Desperately Needed

This message is from one an Augsburg student who is working at the East African Women's Center here in Cedar Riverside.
"First and foremost the important thing that we are looking for is cribs. We also need anything for new infants that we could get such as baby bottles, diapers, clothing, etc."

If you have any of these item, please leave them on the Sabo Center front porch at 624-21st Avenue South. Cribs may be too big for the porch and arrangements can be made for them to be picked up on campus by calling Mina at 612-332-8402.

Many thanks!
