Flu Shot Clinics on Campus

One of the surest ways to avoid getting the flu - and spreading it - is to get a flu shot. This week, University of Arizona students and employees will have a chance to get vaccinated against seasonal flu at several clinics being held on campus.

Drive-Through Clinic for Employees and Students
Get your flu shot without leaving your car by participating in a drive-through flu shot clinic being held by the Campus Health Service in collaboration with other UA departments on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 9 a.m. to noon. To get to the clinic area, head east on Second Street from Park Avenue. Because this is a drive-through clinic, you'll stay in your vehicle from start to finish. And if you're one of the first 200 participants, you'll get a free flu prevention kit.

Walk-Up Flu Shot Clinics for Students
Students will be able to get their seasonal flu shots between classes by stopping at one of several clinics being offered by the Campus Health Service this week:

MONDAY
8 a.m.-5 p.m. McKale Memorial Center (this clinic is intended for student-athletes)
9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Harvill
2-6 p.m. Physics-Atmospheric Sciences

TUESDAY

THURSDAY

For the drive-through and walk-up clinics, please note the following information:
Bring your CatCard.
Employees who bring their insurance cards and employee ID numbers will not be charged for the shots. Those who don't will be charged $15, payable with cash, Visa/MasterCard or check with picture ID.
Receipts will be given for those who wish to submit them to insurance companies for reimbursement.
Wear a short-sleeved shirt.
At this time, only seasonal flu shots are available.
Students must be at least 18 years old to get vaccinated.
