About flu


The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say everyone
6 months and older should be vaccinated against flu. Learn about seasonal flu and why vaccination's important.

For students & other UHS patients

If you already have an appointment scheduled with a UHS provider, you can be vaccinated against flu at the same time – just ask!

Vaccinations will be billed to your health insurance; remember to bring your plan's ID card with you.

Both injected and inhaled forms of the flu vaccine are available.

Be Health Smart

for you and your community

These simple steps can help keep you healthier!

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow instead of into your hands. Throw used tissues into the trash.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, to reduce the spread of germs.

• Don't share food, drinks, utensils and other similar items.

• If you’re sick, stay home from school or work, and limit contact with others.
