Stanford University is committed to reducing the incidence of seasonal flu infection among our students, faculty & staff, and retirees. As part of Stanford’s focus on promoting wellness and preventive health care, FREE FLU SHOTS will be available for the Stanford community this fall at a number of on-campus vaccination clinics beginning October 2011.
Getting Vaccinated is as EASY as 1 – 2 – 3!
- Read the 2011 – 2012 CDC Vaccine Information Sheet
- Complete, PRINT and SIGN the Stanford Flu Consent Form
- Bring this completed form to our free influenza vaccination clinics
This year’s seasonal flu shot will provide protection against both the 2009 novel H1N1 virus (“swine flu”) as well as two other projected “seasonal” flu virus strains. All employees, retirees, and students are encouraged to get a flu shot this season – the single best way to keep from getting the flu and from spreading it to family members, roommates, classmates, and co-workers according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As protective immunity from flu vaccination wanes over the following year, CDC recommends that you receive annual flu vaccination.
