By Katie Cravey | It’s that time of the year again, flu vaccines are available for students, Faculty and staff at the HPU health service office for $15. The hours are open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday – Thursday and 9:30 a.m. – noon on Friday.
The Texas Department of State Health Serves writes weekly written reports about sickness within the state, and they have seen an increase of flu this past week.
Since no one is able to predict when the flu will hit its peak, it is encouraged to go ahead and get your flu shot before the height of the flu occurs.
Many places in town, such as Walgreens, does not require out of pocket cost for the shot because of insurance. If your health insurance will not pay for your flu shot, the HPU Health Services office will be the best option because it typically will cost $30-$45.
