Syracuse University Health Services and the Office of Human Resources, in collaboration with the Onondaga County Health Department, will continue their partnership to offer free flu vaccines to the Syracuse University community. This year, Health Services will be immunizing with the quadrivalent flu vaccine to protect against four strains of influenza viruses versus the trivalent flu vaccine given in past years.
There are several upcoming opportunities for students, faculty and staff to get the flu vaccine on campus; mark your calendars for this important step in preventing the flu this season.
For faculty and staff:
- Wednesday, Oct. 10, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., Flanagan Gymnasium
- Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. 621 Skytop Rd., conference room 1051

For students:
