Second Flu Shot Clinic at NSU Oct. 14
Northwestern State University news release
Northwestern State will hold a second flu shot clinic from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Student Union Ballroom during the university’s annual Benefits Fair. The clinic is open to students, faculty and staff, who should bring an insurance card and a completed waiver form.
A first clinic was held Monday, Oct. 5, in Alost Hall, timed so nursing students could get vaccinated before clinical rotations. Walgreens administered the shots at no out-of-pocket cost. Nursing students must complete a series of health and certification requirements before starting rotations, where they work with patients under supervision.
“The flu shot on campus made preparing for clinicals easy because I just had to go a small distance to get my shot, and it was during my off time instead of having to make time or an appointment somewhere else,” said Elnora Hagger, a junior Bachelor of Science in Nursing student from Simmesport.
