Influenza Vaccine
According to CDC guidelines, annual flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older, with rare exceptions, because it is an effective way to decrease flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths. This is especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the overall burden of respiratory illnesses on the healthcare system.
Students
UCF Students get FREE flu shots at Student Health Services. No appointment or proof of insurance is necessary. Walk-ins available Monday thru Friday!
To get a flu shot, patients can request to be vaccinated as part of their scheduled in-person appointment with Student Health Services, or via walk-up accessibility at the Health Center building Monday thru Friday (Main Appointments Entrance).
Faculty & Staff
Faculty and staff are welcome to get vaccinated through Student Health Services. Your in-network insurance card must be on file so Student Health Services can bill your insurance, with charges filed as part of your preventative benefits coverage.
