Flu season has arrived. Stay healthy and protect our Husker community from the spread of influenza by getting a free flu shot at the University Health Center.

There are two ways to get the flu shot:

Visit a drop-in flu vaccine clinic for students. These clinics are held Oct. 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. at the University Health Center, Room 240. An East Campus clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 12 in the Nebraska East Union across from Starbucks. You must be 18 or older to attend.
Schedule a flu shot appointment in the medical clinic. Call 402.472.5000 to schedule an appointment. Appointments are open to students of all ages.

Bring these items with you:

NCard
Completed 2021-22 Flu Vaccination Form
Power of Attorney form (18-year-olds only; if you have already submitted a copy to the health center, you do not need to bring a duplicate copy with you.)

If you are 17, the Power of Attorney form is not valid until you turn 18, which means you are ineligible to attend a drop-in clinic. However, you can still get vaccinated by making a flu shot appointment at the medical clinic during normal business hours. We will call a parent or guardian at the time of check-in to obtain permission to vaccinate you. Call 402.472.5000 to schedule.

Visit the health center website to learn more about this year’s flu shot and common questions about the vaccine.
