With temperatures dropping and the quarter system moving fast, there is a high chance of catching the flu. Living and working together in close quarters on Northwestern campus increases the spread of influenza. Even a generally healthy person could get sick from the flu, which could result in missed classes or work days. Seasonal flu vaccines are highly recommended for all Northwestern students.
Fortunately, Northwestern students can easily get flu shots through NU Health Service, conveniently located in Searle Hall. Students under health insurance coverage are eligible to get free vaccines. For everyone else, payment of $30 will be billed to their NU account.
Protect yourself, your family, friends, and members of the Northwestern community by getting a flu shot today. By spending a few minutes of your day getting vaccinated, you could prevent potential missed days at school or work due to the flu. Schedule your flu shot appointment by calling 847.491.2204 or via the Personal Health Portal. Appointments are available on weekdays during regular business hours. Don’t forget to bring your Wildcard (student ID) for the appointment!
