The University Health Center is offering flu shots for students, faculty and staff.
Students can receive a flu shot during drop-in clinics (schedule below) or by making an appointment. All faculty and staff, as well as students under the age of 18, must make an appointment to receive a flu shot.
The flu shots are free for students. Faculty and staff inoculations have a charge, which can be submitted to private insurance or paid out-of-pocket. Appointments can be made by calling 402-472-5000.
Students will need to bring their NCard to receive a flu shot.
The University Health Center, which is managed by Nebraska Medicine, offers Fluarix Quadrivalent flu shots, which protect against four flu viruses. The high-dose flu vaccine for individuals 65 or older is not being offered by the health center.

Drop-in flu vaccine clinics for students at the University Health Center, Room 240, are 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22. A clinic on East Campus is 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 12 in the Nebraska East Union across from Starbucks.
Students who are 18 are required to get parental permission due to Nebraska state law. A Power of Attorney form is necessary.
A Power of Attorney form is not valid for students who are 17 or younger. Those students cannot participate in a drop-in clinic but can get vaccinated by making an appointment at the University Health Center. Staff will call a parent/guardian at the time of check-in to obtain permission to complete the vaccination.
