Tulane Living Well offers a convenient way for employees to stay healthy this flu season. On select dates in September and October, employees can receive their flu shots at various locations across campus, ensuring they have easy access to this important preventative measure.

 

This year’s flu vaccines are quadrivalent and protect against four influenza viruses: H1N1, H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata. These have been the four most common strains of influenza circulating in recent years. With the ongoing presence of other respiratory illnesses, such as RSV and COVID-19, it's more important than ever to protect yourself and those around you from the flu.

No appointments are necessary to get a flu shot, but you’re highly encouraged to come with a completed consent form to help expedite your visit. Flu vaccines are a covered benefit, and employees have no out-of-pocket expenses. Employees are asked to bring their Splash ID cards to the flu clinic.
