Flu Shot Clinics

Make an appointment for one of our clinics using the Student Health Center’s online scheduler. Bring a photo ID and wear a short-sleeved shirt for easy access to your upper arm. Do not attend if you have any COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms.

The IU Bloomington flu clinics will offer a preservative-free, trivalent, single-dose vaccine called Fluarix that is manufactured by GSK. Neither the high-dose vaccine for those over 65 nor the eggless vaccine will be available at the IU Bloomington clinics. Staff, faculty, or students who need those types of vaccines are encouraged to seek them through their primary care provider.

Flu shots are free with most insurance. Insurance information will be collected when appointments are scheduled.

If a student does not have insurance, the flu shot is $54.

Please bring a photo ID and your University ID number.

Getting a flu shot protects yourself but also those around you who may be particularly vulnerable to the flu. Groups that are highest risk from the flu include the elderly, infants and those with chronic medical conditions. If you regularly interact with such people, you can help protect them by getting a flu shot.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all Americans older than six months get a flu vaccine each year, unless they have had a severe allergic reaction to the flu vaccine or one of its components in the past. Please note that some types of flu vaccine are produced now without the use of eggs, so there is no reason for those with an egg allergy not to get a flu shot.
