Flu Vaccinations
Fall 2026 UHS flu vaccination outreach clinics have ended.
Students can still get vaccinated at the Allergy, Immunization and Travel Clinic by appointment only.
Allergy, Immunization and Travel Clinic
Student Services Building, 2.102
Schedule online through the MyUHS/CMHC Portal.
Type of Vaccines Administered
Flu: Fluzone Trivalent—preservative-free (thimerosal-free) and latex-free.
Do not get this vaccine if you have had a severe reaction to a previous flu vaccine.
Insurance, Cost and Payment
Most insurance plans, including the Student Health Insurance Plan cover annual flu vaccine at no cost.
Insurance is billed for:
- UT students with insurance plans accepted by UHS.
- Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan benefits. The maximum cost for the flu vaccine is $15.
- Any patient responsibility will appear in your “What I Owe” after UHS receives your insurer’s Explanation of Benefits.
For those uninsured or with plans not accepted by UHS:
- Uninsured: $15
- Insurance not accepted: $15
- Out-of-network insurance: Maximum $15; charges will appear in your “What I Owe” after processing
Before Your Appointment
Upload your insurance information to the MyUHS/CMHC Portal before your appointment. If your insurance is already uploaded, do not upload it again.
Having insurance on file allows UHS to file claims efficiently. If your plan doesn’t cover the full cost, any remaining balance will appear in "What I Owe". No payments are collected at the clinic.
