Student Health Services is helping students combat the flu by offering flu clinics throughout this season. Kansas health officials are expecting the state to have another relatively mild flu season, but they're still encouraging shots for nearly everyone 6 months or older.
Flu shots, which cost $15, will be offered by the Student Health Services staff today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kansas Union; Monday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Strong Hall; Thursday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in The Underground; Monday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Anschutz Library and Thursday, Nov. 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Appointments can also be made at Watkins Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. by calling 785-864-9507.
The flu season typically starts in early October, but the state has yet to receive a report of any influenza cases. Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer said it's still wise to get a shot to reduce the chances of spreading the illness.
Kansas Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser said the state's 2011-2012 flu season was relatively mild because the winter weather was warmer than normal. He said the state is expecting the same pattern this winter.
Roxie Dohogne, a registered
nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people get vaccinated as soon as the 2012-2013 flu season vaccine becomes available in the their community.
"Influenza seasons are unpredictable, and can begin as early as October and it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu," she said. "The sooner you get vaccinated the better."
vaccinated the booster Dohogne also discussed preventative measures that students can take, including avoiding contact with sick people, frequent hand washing, drinking liquids and getting plenty of sleep.

Mexican drug lord's daughter arrested
Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman Salazar, 31, was arrested Friday at San Diego's San Ysidro port of entry and charged with fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents.
SAN DIEGO — The daughter of one of the world's most sought-after drug lords has been charged with trying to enter the United States on someone else's passport, U.S. officials said Monday.
Two U.S. officials said Monday that she told authorities her father was Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
CRIME
not authorized to discuss the arrest publicly.
A woman under that name was charged Monday in federal court in San Diego. Kelly Thornton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office, said she could not confirm that the woman charged was Guzman's daughter.
Guzman Salazar hired Jan Ronis, whose roster of clients with links to organized crime has included Benjamin Arellano Felix, the fallen leader of the eponymous drug cartel that was one of Mexico's most powerful. Ronis said he was just learning about the case and declined to comment on the charges.
The complaint said Guzman Salazar attempted to enter the country on foot, presenting a non-immigrant visa contained in a Mexican passport. She told authorities that she intended to go to Los Angeles to give birth to her child.
Guzman Salazar told authorities that she was pregnant, according to the U.S. officials.
The significance of the arrest will depend on what Guzman Salazar can tell authorities about her father, like whether she can provide phone numbers, said David Shirk, director of the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute.
"We don't know exactly what she knows," said Shirk. "It may just be an interesting factoid in the war on drugs or it could be a vital clue for law enforcement ... This is the kind
of random development that could potentially shift the tides"
The Los Angeles Times reported last year that Guzman's wife — former beauty queen Emma Coronel — traveled to Southern California and gave birth to twin girls at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, north of Los Angeles. The newspaper said Coronel, then 22, holds U.S. citizenship, which entitles her to travel freely to the U.S. and to use its hospitals.
"You kind of surmise that there's some family connection back to Southern California," Eric Olson, associate director of the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute said of the daughter's arrest.
