Sorority Safety

If you're in school, you know full well that it's dominating your life again and the carefree days of drinking by the pool will be replaced with study sessions, exams and drinking out of the pool.

Most years you've had to worry about some vaccinations, and maybe you didn't care for the flu shot. If you're already sick when you get one chances are you'll get sicker and ward them off every year. But with the H1N1 or swine flu to worry about, you should at least think about your safety when you're bumping into 50,000 other students between classes or at fraternity parties.



The H1N1 vaccination is being tested and should be available by mid-October, but if you're still wary about shots, at least get information about this and the "normal" strain of flu and at the very least, wash your hands often and cover your cough. The CDC now has Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts, so there's no excuse to be as clueless about flu as what your professor is droning on about in class.

Another thing to think about on campus or anytime you're outside is protecting your skin. Summer may be drawing to a close, but the hot Texas sun never
quits, and it's still important to give your face a little SPF protection. Escobedo Skin Center doesn't offer vaccinations, but we do offer products and photofacial treatment to keep your skin looking great, in and out of the sun.
