There is a $50 fee for plan changes.

On Thursday, October 12, University Health Service will host a flu vaccine clinic for students, faculty, and staff from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Goergen Athletic Center on the River Campus. Details to follow on how to schedule an appointment.

The flu vaccine is covered in full for all active members of the University’s student health insurance plan (Aetna) and generally covered in full by most private insurance plans. Flu vaccines offer the best and safest way to prevent the spread of the illness, and getting vaccinated does not cause the flu. Some people may react with a sore arm or feel achy after the vaccine, but this is much better than coming down with influenza.
