Bolivar Campus Update November 2, 2009
According to SBU's Director of Health Services, Nancy Hodges, "During the week of October 25-31, 2009 there were nine students seen with fever over 100 and exhibiting flu symptoms. Only one student tested positive for Influenza A. Many students were seen with some of the symptoms of flu, but not fever.” For information regarding flu symptoms, please click on Flu Symptoms and Actions.
The Health Center realizes that a negative flu test is only 78% accurate. Consequently, any student with fever should take precautionary measures. The Health Center recommends that individuals review the following "What You Can Do to Stay Healthy". Normally any student who has flu symptoms or other illnesses is encouraged to call the SBU Health Center at 417-328-1888 for an appointment.
