The 2013-14 flu vaccine has arrived. The vaccine (shots and mist) will be available at clinics throughout campus. The first clinics are listed below, but the schedule will change often. Check the schedule at www.gannett.cornell.edu for updates prior to attending a clinic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against influenza throughout flu season.

The flu vaccine is free to Cornell students, staff, faculty and retirees. (Bring your Cornell ID.) The vaccine costs $30 for student spouses and domestic partners (free to those on SHIP). Spouses and partners of staff, faculty and retirees should seek the vaccine from their primary care providers or local pharmacies. Gannett does not offer flu vaccine to children.
