NSU Offers Free Flu Shots to Faculty and Staff

954-262-4550

It’s that time of year again—the time to get an annual flu vaccine. The Office of Human Resources is pleased to collaborate with the NSU Pharmacy and ICUBA to provide free seasonal flu shots to all faculty and staff enrolled in an ICUBA medical plan.

The purpose of the flu vaccine is to minimize transmission of the influenza virus in the workplace by providing occupational protection to faculty and staff and to prevent transmission to other members of the NSU community. Annual influenza vaccination has been found to be both safe and effective in reducing the risk of influenza and health care-related transmission.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), everyone six months and older in the United States should get an influenza (flu) vaccine every season with rare exception. CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has made this “universal” recommendation since the 2010-2011 flu season.
