Where to Get a Flu Shot at UW
This fall, combat flu season by getting your flu shot at the convenience of your own schedule on campus. There are over 15 clinics through the months of September, October, and November hosted by The Whole U. All UW faculty, staff, and students may get their flu shot at the UW flu shot clinics. The clinics are hosted at a variety of locations, times, and dates so that you can find the clinic closest to you.
Dependents between ages 10-17 can attend a flu shot clinic with a parent or guardian (who must also sign the claim/consent form). Dependents aged under should see their health care provider.
No appointment is necessary for any of our clinics, but be sure to bring your insurance card (if applicable) and photo ID. For information on accepted insurance providers and the option to pay out of pocket, visit the Frequently Asked Questions below.
Note: Faculty and staff enrolled in UW-provided PEBB health plans (Uniform Medical and Kaiser), plus graduate students enrolled in the Graduate Appointee Insurance Program (GAIP), can obtain a free annual flu shot as allowed under the plans’ preventive care coverage.
