Flu Shot Clinics Begin Nov. 3
Well-U is offering flu shots at no cost for faculty, staff, and their spouses/domestic partners enrolled in the University Health Care Plans. Employees and/or spouses who are not enrolled in a University Health Care Plan are also eligible to receive the flu shot. Most major health insurance plans cover the $30 fee and can be billed directly by the School of Nursing to avoid out-of-pocket expense. The first clinic is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 3, in the Flaum Atrium at the Medical Center from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Other clinics will be held in November and early December. View the schedule.
