Flu, Covid, and Pneumonia vaccinations are available on the Athens campus
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses like flu is more important than ever. Vaccination against both flu and coronavirus is essential to reduce your risk of getting the flu or being hospitalized with flu complications, to protect vulnerable populations like the elderly, the immunocompromised and people not yet old enough to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and to help save scarce medical resources needed to care for people with COVID-19.
