Fall Flu Shot and COVID-19 Booster Clinics
Each fall, The Whole U coordinates the University of Washington’s vaccine clinics in partnership with the Seattle Visiting Nurse Association (SVNA) to help our community stay healthy through the season ahead. These on-site clinics offer flu shots and COVID-19 booster vaccines across UW’s campuses.
By hosting these clinics, we make preventive care easy and accessible. Whether you’re updating your annual flu shot or receiving the latest COVID-19 booster, it’s a simple way to protect your health and help prevent illness across our UW community.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to schedule an appointment to receive one or both vaccines at a convenient campus location.
The 2026 clinic schedule will be released in early fall. Stay tuned and reach out to The Whole U if you’d like to host a clinic at your UW worksite.
