Get your free flu shot at the University Health Center | Announce

Getting vaccinated for influenza will help you stay healthy and protect our Husker community.

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.
