Free flu shot clinic:

Tuesday, Nov. 9, 9 a.m.-10:50 a.m.
Whitworth University Campus
HUB Chambers

Group Health will be on campus to provide a free flu shot clinic for Group Health members 18-years of age or older. You must reserve an appointment time. To schedule an appointment, please send or call your reservation to Pam Oswalt at poswalt@whitworth.edu or x4872.

Last year’s H1N1 flu virus is covered along with two others in this year’s seasonal flu vaccine. That means only one dose for everyone. Bring your Group Health member card to the appointment. There will be three nurses on site; each nurse will have a five-minute appointment available. Flu shots are available to non-Group Health members for $28.

If you are a Group Health member and are unable to attend the clinic, or if you need a flu shot before Nov. 9, shots are available at any Group Health clinic. Clinic locations are listed at http://www.ghc.org/. If you drop in between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., there is no co-pay or charge for the flu shot. However, there may be a charge if you receive the shot as part of a regularly scheduled appointment.

Please join us for “Technology Thursdays” training sessions:

All classes are held in Library Lab 209, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Follow the links at the bottom of this page to register via the SharePoint Training site. Class size is limited to the first 22 registered. For class descriptions, please visit Technology Thursdays Class Offerings.
