It's flu season again -- time for everyone to get their flu shots. The flu vaccine protects against the three or four influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common this time of year. Health officials say getting the flu vaccine as soon as possible is always a good idea, and the protection you get from the vaccination should last throughout the flu season. Texas State students can get their flu shots at the student health center for 15 dollars. Local pharmacies also offer the vaccines at a low cost.
