FLU VACCINES FOR STUDENTS
As part of our Healthy Monday series, The Office of Student Health, in partnership with Midtown Pharmacy, will offer flu vaccines (shots) to students:
Monday, November 4 – 11:00 am until 4:00 pm (or until supplies run out) – First Floor of Moseley (Table 6)
All students who receive a flu vaccine at the vaccine clinics will be entered into a drawing for prizes including gift certificates for Barnes and Noble, The Root and The Oak House!
NO OUT OF POCKET COSTS: Most insurance carriers cover the total cost of flu vaccines. Bring your insurance card and Mid-Town Pharmacy will file your insurance with no out-of-pocket cost. If you do have a co-pay, we can put it on your student account.
OR
Students may pay the $ 20.00 vaccine cost at the time of service. You may pay by cash, check, Phoenix Card or we can post it on your student account. We will provide documentation if you would like to file for reimbursement from your insurance company at a later time .
The flu can be serious! The single dose flu vaccine is designed to protect against the flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during this flu season. The CDC recommends getting the flu vaccine as soon as it becomes available each year. The protection you get from the vaccination is designed to provide protection throughout the flu season. With the holiday breaks, final exams and Winter Term study abroad courses just around the corner, you want to protect yourself as much as possible!
For more information about the 2014/2015 flu season and vaccine recommendations, please visit the CDC web-site at: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/index.htm. Please note that a moderate to severe case of the flu can have a major impact on a student, faculty or staff member during an academic term- especially Winter Term and Study Abroad. In addition to receiving the flu vaccine, students, faculty and staff can take preventive actions like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs. If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading flu to others.
Stop by our Healthy Monday Table between 11:00 and 4:00 and pick up a “Clean Team” kit (while supplies last). Learn more about how to prevent all types of communicable illnesses!
