According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 5% and 20% of the U.S. population contracts the flu each year.
Getting a flu shot should still be at the top of your list this fall. It helps you stay healthy and protects others who might become very ill from influenza.
The U-M community has a number of options to get a flu vaccination. Please determine which is the best approach for your situation.
There are three ways in which Michigan Medicine employees, learners and volunteers can receive their flu vaccine: from their department flu liaisons, at U-M Occupational Health Services flu clinics and at other locations in the community.

Faculty and staff working remotely or who cannot attend a campus clinic (as well as spouses/OQAs, dependents and retirees) can also get a free flu vaccination at their doctor’s office, local clinic or network immunizing pharmacy. When a flu shot is administered at a pharmacy, there is no cost when either the member’s medical or prescription drug insurance card is provided. Do not use both cards or there could be confusion.
