The University of Minnesota Flu Vaccination Clinics have concluded for 2011. If you have not yet received your flu vaccination and would like to receive one, please call (612) 625-3222 for assistance.
By getting your flu vaccine you're not just protecting yourself, you're also helping stop the spread of flu around campus. Do it for the herd!
For more information, check out our Flu FAQ or contact us at flu@bhs.umn.edu.
The nurse will screen you before administering the vaccine to ensure you receive the appropriate vaccine.
The nasal-spray flu vaccine—a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for “live attenuated influenza vaccine” or FluMist®)—is approved for use in healthy* people 2 to 49 years old who are not pregnant. (*“Healthy” indicates persons who do not have an underlying medical condition that predisposes them to influenza complications.)
The “flu shot” is an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months. Healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions can get the shot.
