Health news

Flu shots

Flu vaccine for the 23-24 flu season is now available in Health Services by calling 206-281-2231 for an appointment. Cost is $25 on your student account. We are unable to bill insurance for vaccines.

COVID positive? Per new CDC guidelines in March 2024, 5-day isolation is no longer required. If you test positive for COVID or have symptoms of illness, please remain in your residence until symptoms improve and no fever, vomiting, or diarrhea for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. Please mask when picking up meals to-go and for five days upon return to normal activities. It is your responsibility to notify professors of any classes missed due to illness of any kind.

Meningitis vaccination is highly recommended for college-age students as meningitis is a very infectious and potentially deadly illness that can be easily spread living in community settings. Talk to your primary care provider about meningitis vaccination options prior to your arrival on campus. There are two types of meningitis vaccine(MCV4 and MenB). MCV4 is routinely given in childhood, while MenB is an optional vaccine. MenB is the strain that has caused most of the meningitis outbreaks on college campuses in the recent past and is therefore recommended in addition to MCV4. Please refer to the Meningitis information sheet (PDF) and talk with your primary care provider about meningitis vaccination options.
