‘Flurona’ is a new term being tossed around to describe an instance when a patient tests positive for both COVID19 and the flu but health experts announced.
Without Stetson’s event, Garcia said she would have waited to get vaccinated when she returned home to Maryland over the summer.
As of Thursday afternoon, 42 students and 228 staff members had received their first vaccine dose at the campus’ Hollis Center. Second doses were scheduled for four weeks from Wednesday and will be administered at the same location.
The current options for making a vaccine appointment were too time-consuming for 64-year-old John Rasp, Ph.D., an associate professor of statistics at Stetson, and without the appointment through the university, he wouldn’t have received it as quickly.
“It involved either hitting websites early in the morning and or driving a ways away,” Rasp said of the appointment process. “This was just simple. The university brought it to us.”
