The LSU Health New Orleans School of Nursing and the LSU Healthcare Network are teaming up again this year to offer flu shots to all faculty, staff, and students.
The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated every flu season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop an immune response. In the United States, influenza season usually begins in October. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of severe influenza and their close contacts, including health care personnel and close contacts of children younger than six months. For more information on the influenza (flu) vaccine, please see the Vaccine Information Statement (VIS).
Appointments are required. Walk-ins are not allowed. Masks are required.

HOW TO SCHEDULE?
• In partnership with LCMC Health, the LSU Healthcare Network recently converted to the EPIC medical record system throughout all clinics.
• All appointments must be scheduled online using the link below and you must pre-register prior to your arrival.
• With insurance, there should be no out-of-pocket cost. The flu shot is covered 100% by almost all insurance plans. Without insurance, there will be a $25 charge for those under age 65 (regular dose) and a $60 charge for those older than 65 (high dose), payable by credit card only.
