Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community,

The Student Health Center, in partnership with GUWellness and the Office of Faculty and Staff Benefits, will offer seasonal flu vaccine clinics for all Georgetown students, faculty and staff beginning on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.

This year's vaccine is a single shot (trivalent vaccine) that will protect against several types of influenza, including the novel H1N1 flu type that caused so much illness in previous years. The vaccinations are free of charge for students, faculty and staff with a valid Georgetown ID (GOCard) which must be presented at the time of vaccination. The seasonal flu vaccine clinics will take place on the main campus and at the Law Center on a first-come, first-served basis during the times below.

Below is the schedule for the influenza vaccine walk-in clinics at various Georgetown University locations:

If you have questions about the seasonal flu or seasonal flu vaccination, the CDC offers information at http://www.cdc.gov/features/flu/.

We encourage all members of the Georgetown community to take advantage of these resources that protect against the seasonal flu.

Be well,
