Roll up your sleeve and get that flu shot Whether it’s believable or not, summer’s gone and winter is on the way. With colder weather comes an increased chance for illness, and the flu is an unwanted guest this time of year, especially during the holidays.     All MUSC, MUHA, Sodhexo, and designated UMA employees are eligible to receive a free flu shot. If an employee is not able to go to Employee Health Services at 57 Bee Street or Infection Control, then shots may be received via one of the flu vaccine satellite locations listed in the box. Employee Health Services and Infection Control will begin administering the vaccine on Oct. 24. No appointments are necessary to receive a shot from Employee Services. Pregnant women should consult their physician before receiving the vaccine.   For more information, call 792-2991.
