Get Your Flu Shot: A Message From University Physician Michael Brown

On Monday, September 26, 2022, University Physician Michael Brown shared the following message with students encouraging them to get their flu shot. 

 

MSU Students,

As we approach the beginning of influenza season, it’s important that you take action to protect yourself by getting your annual flu shot.

This year, flu shots are available through Student Health Services at Olin Health Center and the MSU Health Care Pharmacy on Hagadorn Road. Student Health Services requires an appointment; call (517)353-4660 to schedule. The MSU Health Care Pharmacy is offering walk-ins or scheduled appointments, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For most students with insurance, there is no cost for the vaccine.

It is also important to remember the new COVID-19 bivalent vaccine booster is available at the MSU Health Care Pharmacy. The flu shot can be co-administered with a COVID-19 booster dose, and we encourage students to receive this extra level of protection when they are eligible. Use this CDC tool to determine your eligibility.

For more information on cold and flu, visit the Student Health Services website. 

Stay healthy, Spartans.
