Employee flu shots available starting Oct. 29

The Environment, Health and Safety Department Environment, Health and Safety Department will again offer a wide variety of times and locations for on-campus employee flu shot clinics.

Flu shot clinics will be provided at 16 campus locations beginning Monday, Oct. 29, and running until Friday, Nov. 16. UW–Madison has set a goal of immunizing 5,000 faculty academic and classified staff, says Jim Turk, occupational health specialist and interim occupational health officer.

For employees with Dean Care, Physicians Plus, Group Health Cooperative or Unity health insurance, flu shots are administered at no charge if you bring your insurance card with you to the clinic.

If you do not bring your insurance card with you, a fee of $28 for the flu shot will be required. If you pay for the shot on site, a receipt will be provided so you can obtain reimbursement from your health insurance provider. Please plan to pay with cash or check.

Clinics are designed specifically to accommodate demand from employees, not spouses or children, who are encouraged to receive shots from a health-care provider.

Student flu shots will be available from University Health Services beginning later this fall. More information will be announced when a starting date is set.

For questions, contact Turk at 265-5515.
