FLU Vaccine

It's not too late to get vaccinated for this winter's Flu season. Flu season usually peaks in Jan or Feb but can occur through May. Approximately 5-20% of US residents get the flu each year. Don't be part of that statistic! Get vaccinated today! Hours M-F 9-11:30 and 1-3:30 pm. Please bring $10 cash. You will receive a receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement as able.

Immunizations

By Massachusetts State Regulations, all students must have documentation of  required vaccines or proof of immunity through blood titers before coming to campus. Download the Health and Immunization Report Form (PDF). If documentation is not available, a student must begin all of the required vaccines before coming to campus. Students who have paid the health services fee may also use health services for travel planning and immunization. Vaccines are available on a walk in basis M-F 9-11:30am and 1-3:30 pm.

Occasionally a student begins an immunization series late and is unable to complete the requirements before arriving on campus. All members of the Brandeis community may use the Health Center to complete immunizations and for Tuberculin Skin Testing (TST). You will be charged a supply fee for the vaccine(s) and TST payable at the time of service. We will give you all the documentation you need to submit for reimbursement from your insurance provider as allowed by your individual plan contract. Flu Shots  2012-1013 Academic Year $20.00 (starting September 24th, 2012).
