Seasonal flu vaccine clinics for UWM

Seasonal flu vaccine clinics will be held next week for UWM faculty, staff and students.

The clinics will be held on a first-come, first-served basis in the Union Ballroom from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 12; Wednesday, Oct. 14; and Thursday, Oct. 15.

A UWM ID is required to receive a vaccine, which will cost $10 for students and $20 for faculty and staff.

UWM has been allotted a limited number of vaccine doses. Alternatives to the UWM vaccine clinics include going to a local Aurora Shoo The Flu Clinic, Walgreens Take Care Clinic or Walgreens store. More details can be found here:
