The health stuff no one reminds you to do

Here are 3 things every student should handle before the term gets busy:

Own your records

Get your vaccine records

Many schools want proof of immunization before you enroll. But you'll also need them to help you contextualize any symptoms, and plan for your boosters. Find them now to save future headaches:

MAINTAIN YOUR ACCESS

Move your prescriptions

Moved? It's easy to transfer prescriptions from one pharmacy to another. All you need is the name and phone number of your old pharmacy, plus the names of your medication, and they'll handle the rest.

GET PREVENTATIVE CARE

Get seasonal vaccinations

Flu shots usually arrive in late September and October, and respiratory virus activity peaks December to February. Get your shots ASAP to avoid losing crucial study days.
