Student Health Center Director James Turner said in February there was a notable increase in the number of flu cases, from 200 in the 1997-1998 season to 700 cases last season. Whether this upcoming flu season will bring a further increase in flu cases may depend on the number of flu vaccines given to students and the effectiveness of the 1999-2000 flu vaccine in defending against prevalent flu strains.
