Get your flu vaccination at "Fright The Flu"!

October 03, 2008

Influenza, or "the flu", impacts tens of thousands of Americans every year. This Halloween season, consider joining us for "Fright The Flu", our third annual series of vaccination clinics happening all over campus! Flu vaccines are a great way to significantly lower your chances of getting it, and increasing your chances of a healthier semester and winter break.

The flu vaccination is done one of two ways, either with traditional vaccine injection in the arm (the "flu shot", $20) or a slightly longer lasting nasal spray (FluMist, $25, no needles!). Both are billed directly to your insurance; if not fully covered, any remainder will be sent to your UBill. No, you can't get the flu from the vaccine.

We'll be out on-campus the following days and times to make it easier to get your vaccination! Here's where to find the "Fright the Flu" Vaccination Clinics:
