Both flu and updated COVID-19 booster vaccines are administered by VaxPro, an approved UW-Madison vendor. Appointments are scheduled through the VaxPro system rather than through MyUHS. Save time at your appointment by completing your registration and consent forms online in advance. You will receive an email reminder 24 hours before your appointment. Bring your COVID-19 vaccination card to your booster appointment; if you do not have your card, vaccinators will provide you with a new one at the clinic with information about your bivalent booster.
Flu vaccines

- Flu vaccines are no-cost for all students. If you have an insurance card, please bring it to your appointment. If you don’t have proof of insurance, don’t worry. You can still get a flu vaccine at no cost.
- This flu vaccine is” inactivated,” meaning you cannot become sick with the flu from getting the vaccine.
- Get vaccinated early. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu.
