Stay Healthy During Flu Season- Vaccine and other information

Seasonal flu season is here. In the United States, influenza season usually begins in October and can last until May.  Flu season usually peaks in January or February, but it can occur as late as May. Early immunization is the most effective way to protect yourself, but it is not too late to get the vaccine in December, January, or beyond.  Per CDC recommendations, everyone 6 months of age and older should receive annual influenza vaccination. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop an immune response. Get vaccinated now so that you will be protected.  

Flu Clinics

 What can I do if I missed the SHS flu clinics and still want to get a flu shot?

•   If you have UC SHIP insurance, call or come into SHS so that we can write a referral for you to get a flu vaccine off campus.
  • Use this flu vaccine finder to find out where you can be vaccinated
