Getting a Flu Shot on Campus

UHS Fall 2021 Shot Clinics Underway through Oct. 21

Getting a flu shot this fall is as important as ever. Don’t miss a week of classes or work. Protect yourself and others and keep flu-related complications from using valuable medical resources needed by those with COVID-19. To help keep you healthy, UHS has scheduled flu shot clinics across campus

If you need a COVID-19 vaccination AND a flu shot, there is no need to wait between shots. Both can be given in the same timeframe. Learn how to schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments here.

Who Can Get a Flu Shot During the Campaign?

• UT faculty, staff and students. UHS cannot immunize family of employees and students.
• Regrettably, UHS cannot immunize UT retirees who have Medicare as primary insurance. UHS will not be administering the high dose or adjuvanted vaccine made specifically for people 65 and older; however, the vaccine we administer is approved for people in this age group. Please discuss with your healthcare provider which vaccine type is best for you.
• We ask those with egg allergies or who have had a severe reaction to a prior flu shot to get their shot from their healthcare provider.
• We ask non-eligible individuals to get a flu shot elsewhere.
