Flu Shots Now Available on Main, Health Science Campus

Free on-campus flu shots are available starting today for faculty, staff and students at The University of Toledo.

On Main Campus, influenza vaccines will be offered from noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays at the University Health Center.

On Health Science Campus, vaccines will be offered Tuesdays through Fridays at the outpatient pharmacy in the University of Toledo Medical Center Medical Pavilion. Students and employees can get a vaccine Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to noon; Wednesdays from 2 to 6 p.m.; and Thursdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon.

Additional pop-up vaccine clinics will be held throughout October and November on both campuses. A full schedule is available on the University's Flu Prep webpage.

University policy requires annual flu vaccines for all healthcare workers at UTMC and other UToledo Health clinics, as well as on-campus students and employees who are not represented by a bargaining unit.

Those required to be vaccinated must have documented proof of vaccination or an approved exemption prior to Monday, Dec. 1.

Exemptions are considered on a case-by-case basis for documented medical contraindications or sincerely held religious beliefs. Those seeking an exemption must submit their request by the end of the day on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

Exemption forms are available for download at utvaccinereg.utoledo.edu.

Appointments are not needed to receive a vaccine on campus, though employees and students do need to complete a consent form, available at influenza.utoledo.edu, prior to getting their shot.

Those who receive their vaccine from UToledo will have their proof of vaccination uploaded automatically. Individuals who receive their vaccine elsewhere must provide proof of vaccination through utvaccinereg.utoledo.edu.
