On-Site Faculty/Staff Flu Clinics Start 10/16! This year's flu vaccine will protect against four virus strains most common during the upcoming season. Limited high dose flu vaccines will be available at each clinic for faculty/staff 65 years and older. To receive a flu shot, Brown IDs are REQUIRED. Please bring your medical insurance card and your completed consent form. Please wear clothing that allows for easy access to the upper arm. 

Brown University is once again participating in the National College/University Flu Challenge.  Help us win first place this year in this friendly competition by taking a 10 second survey when you get your vaccination. All you'll need is your cell phone. Learn more. 

Brown employees can also receive their flu vaccine at their local pharmacy.  Members must show their OptumRx prescription ID card.  There is $0 copay for members.
