Flu shots are now available at the University Health Center for current students, faculty and staff. Because the flu and COVID-19 have similar symptoms, the University Health Center highly recommends everyone get the flu vaccine this year to help prevent respiratory illness on campus.
For students:

Faculty and staff are eligible to get their flu vaccine at the University Health Center. Here are the key things they need to know:
