Every fall, Campus Health hosts a series of vaccination clinics across campus to help reduce the public health risk of respiratory viral infections in the Yale community. The vaccination program is free and open to all current students, faculty, and staff, regardless of insurance coverage.
Why Vaccinate? Vaccinations are essential for protecting yourself and others from serious illness. Flu and COVID vaccines greatly lower the risk of infection and lessen the severity of symptoms if you do get infected. By getting vaccinated, you help improve the health and safety of our Yale community.
Our Program: The program offers flu and updated COVID vaccinations from September to January each year. These vaccines are crucial in reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses and keeping a healthy, active campus environment.
