Drive-thru Flu Shot Clinics in September and October!

Flu season is quickly approaching, and getting your annual flu shot is as important as ever as we continue to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. To help you get vaccinated in the safest way possible, the university is holding drive-thru flu shot clinics. Flu shots are covered for faculty, staff, dependents (children 7 years and older accompanied by a parent or guardian) and retirees enrolled in UM System medical plans.

Find a clinic near you, the consent form and additional information about this year’s drive-thru clinics at umurl.us/fluvax.

Tips for attending a drive-thru flu shot clinic:

• Bring your insurance card and a completed flu shot consent form.
• You’ll receive your vaccination from the convenience of your car. It’s recommended you wear loose-fitting clothing or short sleeves so your arm is easily accessible.
• Someone will collect insurance information, payment (if necessary) and provide additional details about the process. Signs will help direct traffic flow. Please be patient and anticipate a wait.
• Staff members will screen for COVID-19 symptoms upon arrival. If you are not feeling well, attend a clinic later or get your vaccination from another location offering flu shots when you are feeling well.
• To protect staff members, keep your windows rolled up as you wait. Everyone at the clinic is required to wear a face covering—including those in vehicles. Children under the age of two should not wear face coverings.
• When receiving your shot, keep your face covering on and face forward to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
