\"\"Administrators at the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences are encouraging all SMHS faculty, staff, and students to get influenza shots this autumn.<\/p>\n

Flu vaccinations are important for two reasons. First, influenza is a potentially fatal virus, although at a much lesser rate than COVID-19, especially for persons with weak or otherwise compromised immune systems. Second, since COVID-19 and the flu may have similar symptoms, the anticipated yearly flu epidemic risks clogging the health care system and overwhelming our already overburdened coronavirus testing system.<\/p>\n

In addition to concerns that the hospital may be overwhelmed if we have a \u201ctwindemic\u201d of COVID-19 and the flu, COVID-19 testing may be reduced for those who need it or results may be delayed if testing for influenza substantially increases the need for certain testing resources.<\/p>\n

Flu shots are available by appointment from your health provider or for UND students, faculty and staff at the Student Health Office<\/a>.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
