  • You won’t miss as many classes. It’s difficult to miss classes and stay caught up, especially when it’s from illness. Whether you are hospitalized or take time off to recuperate at home, getting the flu could cost you academically.
  • You cannot get the flu from the vaccine. A common misconception is that you can contract the flu from a flu vaccine, but that is not possible because the shot uses a deadened form of the virus.
