On Wednesday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Flanagan Gym, a flu clinic will be set up to administer flu vaccinations. This is free for all SU students, staff, faculty and temporary employees with SU ID.  No appointments are necessary.

A staff member receives a flu shot at a previous flu shot clinic.

Receiving the first flu vaccine that day will be Otto the Orange.

“This flu clinic is part of a point-of-delivery exercise for Syracuse University’s emergency preparedness plan,” says Ben Domingo, director of Health Services. “We encourage campus community members to attend this flu clinic if possible to support our preparation and planning processes.”

Last year, Health Services staff, Emergency Management staff and Falk College public health interns all worked in coordination with the Onondaga County Health Department to deliver 1,320 flu shots to faculty and staff in four hours.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccination with an injectable flu vaccine for everyone six months and older before the end of October, if possible. The flu vaccination has important benefits, including reducing flu illnesses, doctors’ visits and missed work and school due to flu, as well as preventing flu-related hospitalization.

For questions, email Janelle Perry, administrative secretary for Health Services.  For more information, including guidelines on who should not receive flu vaccinations, visit the flu clinic webpage.
