Receiving a flu shot this fall is as important as ever. It takes around two weeks from the time you receive the vaccine to develop protection. Get the shot to protect yourself and others during peak flu season. Vaccination can help prevent flu from disrupting your classes and work; it may also reduce severity of illness in those who are vaccinated but still become sick.

If you have recently had COVID-19, you can get your flu shot as long as you are no longer in isolation or quarantine and your symptoms have resolved or are mild. You can get a flu shot if you have recently received or plan to receive a COVID-19 booster.

Who Can Get a Flu Shot at the UHS Clinics?

Current UT faculty, staff and students.

Not eligible:

• Family members of current students and employees, even if they are covered on a UT insurance plan.
• Retirees

Type of Vaccine Administered

Fluzone Quadrivalent. This vaccine is preservative (thimerosal)-free and latex-free.

Do not get this vaccine if you have had a severe reaction to a previous flu vaccine. If you have a significant allergy to eggs, we recommend that you speak to your healthcare provider for guidance about obtaining the vaccine in a medical setting.

UHS will not be administering the high dose or adjuvanted vaccine made specifically for people 65 and older. Please discuss with your healthcare provider which vaccine type is best for you.

Cost and Payment

Many insurance plans cover flu vaccines.

Insurance is billed for:

• UT students with insurance plans accepted by UHS (Excludes Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, ChampVA, MAP, Community Health Choice, OR plans with a non-U.S. claims’ address).
• UT faculty/staff with UT Select or insurance accepted by UHS (Excludes Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, ChampVA, MAP, Community Health Choice, OR plans with a non-U.S. claims’ address).

The cost of the flu vaccine ($10) will be billed to your ‘What I Owe’ within the portal if:

• You are uninsured
• Your insurance is not accepted by UHS
• Your insurance is out of network with UHS, and your insurance determines you have patient responsibility after they process your claim.
