UR Employees: Faculty & Staff
The flu vaccine is covered in full for all active members of the UR student health insurance plan (Aetna), the UR Employee Health Plan (Excellus) and generally covered in full by most private insurance plans. Contact your insurance plan directly for specific network and coverage details. Flu vaccines offer the best and safest way to prevent the spread of the illness and getting vaccinated does not cause the flu.
Employees can get their flu vaccine in one of the following ways:
- Pharmacy walk-ins. This may be the easiest way for a lot of faculty and staff. With most health insurance plans, there is no cost when you visit a pharmacy such as CVS, Walgreens, or Wegmans to receive a flu vaccine, and no appointment is needed.
- Visit your primary care doctor. Your family doctor should have the vaccine available for you and your family. The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone ages 6 months or older, and a high-dose vaccine may be available to individuals ages 65 years or older.
