With COVID-19 cases rising due to the delta variant, it’s important we do everything we can to stay healthy, which includes getting vaccinated against the flu. The good news? It’s easy (and free!) to receive your flu vaccine through our University Employee Health Clinic.
This year’s flu vaccination campaign has been extended to Friday, Dec. 3. Participation in the campaign is required.
All employees and volunteers are required to participate in the campaign. You must receive the influenza vaccine (from the University Employee Health Clinic or elsewhere) or decline it in ReadySet in order to comply.
This year’s campaign goals are to have 100% campaign compliance and 95% of employees vaccinated.

Select one of the options below, and make sure to complete the flu survey in ReadySet to record your participation.
- Attend a flu vaccination clinic. Check the schedule to find a flu time when vaccines will be available near your workplace.
