This forum, specifically for students, is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the ZSR Auditorium.

We are seeing a higher volume of non-COVID respiratory illness on campus right now. This is having an impact on the amount of same-day appointments that Student Health Service is able to see. The typical symptoms are nasal congestion and drainage, sneezing, sore throat, cough, low-grade fever (< 100 F), headache, and fatigue.
Because these illnesses are caused by viruses, antibiotics are not helpful for treatment. Symptoms typically will go away on their own after 7-10 days, and over-the-counter medications are helpful in managing symptoms.
Students who experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, wheezing, high fevers that fail to respond to fever meds (>102), or severe headaches should contact Student Health Service or one of the off-campus providers listed here for immediate evaluation.
Free flu shot clinics
As a reminder, Wake Forest is offering free student flu shot clinics in the Sutton Center on Sept. 23, 27, 29, and Oct. 5 and 11. Sign up here.
