The risk of H1N1 is still hanging on our heads like Damocles sword. Last year, this terrible disease took a toll on hundreds of people across the globe.

The loss was not as ghastly as it was expected to be. Though, the flu season is about to end, but the doctors are foreseeing its resurrection.

Spring break often makes students vulnerable to illness. But one can’t predict anything about H1N1.

Patricia Denning, Chief of staff for Student Health Services, advises the people to get a flu and H1N1 shot, if they are flying in or out of their countries, as one tends to come in contact of hundreds of people while traveling and it’s easy to catch infection in crowded places.

Members of the University Wellness Group will visit the campus today as well as tomorrow to get people vaccinated against H1N1 and to remain fit and fine in the summer break.

They will give them a few tips regarding safe sex and first aid kits, etc.

Jenny McKee, a Health Educator for Student Health Services said, “Whether they’re going to go some place they’ve never been before, out of the country, in the country, or maybe they’re just going back home, we just want to get them prepped for their trips”.

One should make maximum use of hand sanitizer and should cover one’s mouth while coughing and must not share drinks with other people to stop the transmittable disease from spreading.
