It may be hard to believe, but flu season is almost here. Each year, millions of people get influenza, and hundreds of thousands are hospitalized or even die from flu-related causes.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu.
more information
For the 2019-20 school year, U-M faculty and staff have several on-campus flu vaccination options.
Michigan Medicine faculty and staff (including the Medical School), medical or nursing students and volunteers can receive free flu vaccinations at health system fairs, through U-M Occupational Health Services in the Med Inn Building, or from clinical unit flu liaisons. Check med.umich.edu/flu for more information and a list of options later this fall.
More than two dozen walk-in flu shot clinics are scheduled for non-Michigan Medicine faculty and staff and U-M students; the UM-Dearborn campus; and UM-Flint campus. U-M retirees, spouses and other qualified adults (OQA) 18 or older can also attend.

Campus flu shot clinics are provided through a partnership between MHealthy, Michigan Visiting Nurses and University Health Service. In addition to these clinics, non-Michigan Medicine employees can also get a flu shot through their primary care provider.
Michigan Visiting Nurses has increased the number of health insurance plans it accepts. Individuals covered under an accepted insurance plan will not have to pay out-of-pocket. Those not covered can still receive a flu shot for $30, payable by check or credit card.
