Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

This is a reminder that on-campus outreach clinics for flu and COVID-19 vaccinations will continue Sept. 23 – 30. Don’t forget to take advantage of this convenient opportunity. REGISTER now to receive your vaccinations!  During the clinics, vaccinations for shingles, RSV and pneumonia will also be available for those who qualify.

For students with the UH student health insurance plan (SHIP) and for employees with BCBSTX HealthSelect and Consumer Directed HealthSelect, the flu, COVID-19 (and other) vaccinations are considered preventive care and covered at no cost. Others should check with their insurance companies to see if these vaccinations are covered 100% at H-E-B Pharmacy. For those without insurance, out-of-pocket payment for the flu shot will be $30 for students and $39 for faculty/staff. Payment via Zelle, Venmo, check or exact cash will be accepted.
