Folks at Husson University were rolling up their sleeves over the past couple of days to get their seasonal flu shots.
The school joined forces with Osco Drug to sponsor a free flu clinic for students, faculty and staff. Folks were turning out in record numbers. Last year, only 50 people got the shot at their clinic. This year, in the first day alone, 450 were vaccinated.
School officials say they wanted to offer this free service this year, to protect everyone on campus.
"One-thousand students live on campus and they live in close quarters. The flu season is hitting us very hard and so we'd like to protect them against the flu as much as we can."
School officials were hoping to have vaccinated 1000 people by the end of the two day clinic.
