Help Fight the Flu
Protect yourself this season by receiving your Flu vaccine. Student Health is administering the Flu vaccine in the Center for Health and Well-Being. A limited supply of vaccines are available on a first come, first serve basis. Anyone interested in getting the vaccination can make an appointment .
The vaccine is available to students, faculty and staff at no cost as long as you upload your insurance card to MyHealthSpace. If insurance cards are not uploaded or you have Medicare, a $40 charge will be posted to your Bursar accounts. Medicare members will need to file with Medicare to be reimbursed.
Alternate locations to receive the Flu vaccine are at your local CVS, Walgreens, Health Department, or your Primary Care Physicians' office. Please call either location to ensure that they are currently offering the vaccine and to inquire about out-of-pocket cost.
