Update on Seasonal and H1N1 Flu Shots

Availability of H1N1 Flu Vaccine for Faculty and Staff Working on the Coral Gables Campus

Due to a positive response to our promotional efforts and nationwide challenges with the supply and distribution of the seasonal flu vaccine, the University’s supply of the vaccine is low. We strongly encourage employees who have not received their seasonal flu shot to visit other local retail locations for the vaccine. UM/Aetna health plan members can obtain free flu shots at Target, Wal-Mart, Publix, Minute Clinics and Take Care Clinics.  Note: CVS and Walgreens do NOT provide free flu shots to Aetna members outside of their walk–in clinics.
