Faculty, staff, and students can receive no-charge influenza vaccinations, but awareness is a critical first step.

Members of the SU community enjoy a privilege that not every university offers come winter: Influenza shots, free and accessible for all.

Kathy Van Vechten, in charge of flu vaccinations at SU’s Health Services, said that the university initially ordered 3,000 doses of the vaccine, and recently ordered 400 more.  Each shot cost the university around $10.

If campus feels like a desert, Syracuse University is trying to assuage the potentially dangerous heat.
