Fall flu vaccine clinics
Each fall, Cornell Health partners with Wegmans Pharmacy to provide flu vaccine clinics at various campus locations.
How to get your COVID booster
COVID vaccinations and boosters are available for students by appointment at Cornell Health. Learn more on our COVID Vaccine & Prevention Page page.
Getting vaccinated each year is the best way to protect yourself – and others – against seasonal influenza.
Annual flu vaccination is especially recommended for college students due to the highly contagious nature of influenza and the close proximity within which students live and study. (See information from the CDC for people who are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications.)
