NO PAIN, NO GAIN

During a flu vaccination clinic held Sept. 27 for East Carolina University employees, Joyce Smith, left, receives a flu shot from Karen Fabo from the ECU School of Medicine. When the vaccination was complete, Smith said she had been surprised by the burning sensation from the shot. Three types of shots were offered at the clinic: a high dose vaccine for patients over 65 years of age, an intramuscular vaccine containing no preservatives and an intradermal vaccine uses a much smaller needle for reduced muscle soreness. The clinic was held at the Student Health Center on campus. (Photo by Cliff Hollis)
