Last year, nearly 2,600 faculty and staff got their annual influenza vaccinations at an employee flu shot clinic. In response to a questionnaire about the program, nearly half the respondents said they came because the locations are more convenient than their providers’ offices; and 60 percent said they attend because they feel it’s important as a member of the university to decrease the risk of spreading influenza in our community.
