Flu shot clinics

Faculty, staff, dependents above the age of seven who are enrolled in a èßäappmedical plan are eligible to get a flu shot at one of our campus clinics and have the cost covered by their university health plan. Children 7 years and older enrolled in a èßäappmedical plan--and accompanied by a parent or guardian--may receive the vaccine. Due to different vaccination needs, children age 6 and younger should obtain their flu vaccine from their health care provider, health department or community clinic. 

Please note, MU Health Care employees will receive a free vaccination from their Staff Health office.
