The poster, H1N1 Information and Precautions (PDF), offers actions to stay healthy and lists symptoms of the flu. It can serve as a good reminder for your office, residence hall room, or apartment and is available as a PDF to print and post. Self-report symptoms In an effort to monitor how many students, faculty, and staff have symptoms of the flu, the Student Health Center asks you to self-report if you experience flu-like symptoms. The self-reporting form is on the Student Health Center web site at www.usi.edu/studenthealth/. The short form takes little time to complete but the information it provides is important as the University continues to assess the health of the campus community. September is National Preparedness Month. One of the most cost-effective weapons in fighting influenza is information and being prepared. The USI Emergency Preparedness web site at www.usi.edu/emergency/ will have current campus information.
