Flu season is upon us! Help #fighttheflu
Wear a mask
Wash your hands
Get a yearly flu vaccine
Flu Vaccine Facts:
- A flu vaccine helps your body build up antibodies against 2-4 recent flu strains.
- It takes about two weeks for these antibodies to help provide protection against the flu virus. If your exposed to the flu before that two-week window you may get sick.
- The flu vaccine has been shown in some studies to reduce the severity of illness and hospitalization.
- After getting the vaccine you may experience: Soreness/redness at the injection site, headache, fever, muscle aches, nausea and fatigue. These symptoms are a response created by your immune system to the vaccine, not flu symptoms.
Where to get a flu vaccine:
• Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider.
• Call 211 for health and social services information.

Honoring Our Dearly Departed: All Souls Day & Dia de los Muertos:
This year CCHS will honor those who have died with a special table in the Chapel with a Catholic prayer for the dead and a traditional celebratory Dia de los Muertos altar in the Academic Center. We encourage everyone to join in these traditional observances. Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday that celebrates and remembers those who have passed away. It is believed that those who have departed visit their families from October 31 through November 2. Drop pictures and/or special remembrances of your friends or loved ones (pictures, crosses, something that belonged to them) to Mission & Ministry before Friday, October 24. Be sure to label items with their name, YOUR NAME, and where you would like them honored. (We will make copies if you’d like them included in both locations.) Que Dios los bendiga, God bless!
