August is National Immunization Awareness Month.
Annual flu vaccines are highly recommended for everyone. Get your flu vaccine this year.
As communicated by strategic communications, UC staff, students and all onsite employees have been directed to get a flu vaccine by November 1, 2020. Health Services will be providing flu shots beginning in mid-September for employees authorized for on-site work. UC staff, students and teleworking employees are encouraged to get their flu shots from their local pharmacy or find a location on VaccineFinder.org
It’s important to keep up to date on your vaccines to protect your health and the health of others around you. To find out what vaccines you might need check out Shots (Vaccines) on MyHealthFinder.
If you have questions about your vaccination status or what vaccines you need, talk with your healthcare provider.
