While it’s not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the fall and winter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes it’s likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be present in our communities. The CDC recommends that all people age 6 months and older get a yearly flu vaccine.

Student Health will host two free flu vaccination clinics for all students. They will take place:

• 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, River Room, Iowa Memorial Union
• 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, River Room, Iowa Memorial Union

Appropriate measures will be in place for social distancing and other COVID-19 precautions. Don’t forget to wear your face mask and bring your student ID.

Students also can schedule a flu vaccine with Student Health by calling 319-335-8394. Walk-ins are not allowed at Student Health.
