Students and employees required by The University of Toledo to receive an annual flu shot have less than a week to provide proof of vaccination.
All on-campus students and employees who are not represented by a bargaining unit, as well as all healthcare workers at UTMC and University clinics, are required to be vaccinated against influenza prior to Dec. 1 of each year.
Free influenza vaccines are available to all faculty, staff and students on Main Campus from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the University Health Center.
On Health Science Campus, vaccines will be available at the outpatient pharmacy in The University of Toledo Medical Center Medical Pavilion on Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Wednesday from 8 a.m. to noon and on Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m.
Additionally, there will be a pop-up vaccine clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday outside the gift shop in The University of Toledo Medical Center.
Appointments are not required for faculty, staff and students to receive a flu shot on campus, but individuals do need to complete a consent form, available at influenza.utoledo.edu, prior to getting their vaccine.
Students and employees who complete a consent form and get vaccinated through the University will have their proof of vaccination uploaded automatically.
Those who have received flu shots elsewhere need to upload proof of vaccination at utvaccinereg.utoledo.edu. Proof of vaccination is due prior to Friday, Dec. 1.
Students who are taking 100% of their courses online and employees who are working 100% remotely and do not come to campus are exempt from the influenza vaccine requirement.
The CDC recommends everyone aged six months and older receive an annual influenza vaccine.
