Protect yourself and others, schedule your flu shot today

Getting the flu shot can go a long way toward keeping you, your loved ones and the greater UF community healthy. The Student Health Care Center (SHCC) offers a variety of appointment times and locations and adds new options frequently. If you don’t live in Gainesville, you are encouraged to visit your local pharmacy or contact your health care provider to schedule a flu shot.

Faculty, staff and students can visit the SHCC website to view available vaccine locations and to schedule an online appointment. Be sure to bring your UFID and insurance card to your appointment.

Faculty and staff can also receive their flu vaccine at the annual Benefits & Wellness Fair, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Evans Champions Club at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

In addition to vaccines, the Student Health Care Center urges all members of the UF community to remember best practices to prevent illnesses, including frequent hand washing and staying home if you have a fever.
