Flu Shots Keep the Herd Healthy
Being proactive by receiving your flu shot before flu season hits is highly recommended in order to keep yourself healthy as well as the Mastodon community. Flu Shot Clinics for students, faculty, and staff are conveniently being offered on Purdue campuses including PFW.
This flu shot clinic will offer the Flubok quadrivalent vaccine, which is designed to protect against four different flu viruses; two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. It is approved for use in ages 18 years and older. It is preservative and egg-free.
We will not have the high dose flu shot recommended for people age 65 and older nor will we have the vaccine for children younger than 18. Please check with your primary care physician or in-network pharmacies for these flu shot options.
On the day of the flu shot, you must:
- Not be sick or have a fever.
- Bring your Purdue/IU ID.
- Wear clothing, such as a short-sleeved top, to make it easier to be vaccinated in your upper arm.
- You can call and make an appointment for a flu shot at the Purdue Fort Wayne Center for Healthy Living by calling 765-494-0111 or visiting the Center for Healthy Living portal.
- Check with your retail pharmacy for flu shot availability. All Purdue medical plans cover the seasonal flu vaccine for employees and covered dependents.
- In most cases, primary care providers can administer flu shots. All Purdue medical plans cover the seasonal flu vaccine for employees and covered dependents.
