Flu symptoms come on suddenly and affect the body all over. Flu symptoms are usually more serious than a cold and include:

  • fever (100° F),
  • headache,
  • more intense pain and fatigue, and
  • more severe, often dry cough.

  • Get a flu shot each fall (offered to all students at a lower cost by UHS each fall)
