Kansas University Student Health Services is offering the first of a series of clinics for seasonal flu vaccinations.

Clinic hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, at the lobby in the Burge Union. Flu shots cost $15 each.

A limited amount of vaccine for seasonal flu, not H1N1 flu, is available this week and more is on order. More clinics will be announced later.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal flu. Seasonal flu vaccine protects against the three seasonal viruses that research suggests will be most common. Students with chronic medical conditions are encouraged to get flu vaccinations early.
