Flu vaccine: Remember to get your flu vaccine before winter break! The flu vaccine is still available for all students and employees, free of charge at the ACHA testing site in the Wise Center. You don’t need an appointment. Stop by the site during testing hours to receive your vaccination.
Let’s finish the semester Gator strong!
