    Join us for this year's flu blitz. Appointments must be made to participate in this year’s Flu Vaccine Blitz. All faculty, staff and spouses must have their own unique appointments and will be asked to show their appointment QR code on their phone upon arrival. Spouses and dependents must currently be enrolled in a Notre Dame medical plan.
    Registration coming soon!
    Children must be accompanied by a parent. Appointments for dependent children are not required. A form, which will be provided at the event, will need to be completed for each dependent child who will be receiving the vaccine.Vaccinators, volunteers, and patients will be expected to follow all safety guidelines and precautions currently in place. Masks are not required for this event. The free flu vaccines will be available while supplies last.
    Tips to staying healthy during flu season:


    Get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccines are available on campus at our Annual Flu Vaccine Blitz, while supplies last.

    Wash your hands. Frequent hand washing offers the best protection against the flu. Alcohol-based hand wipes or gel sanitizers help, too.
    Avoid contact with sick people.

    Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Difficult? Yes. Effective? Very.

    According to the CDC, last year’s flu vaccines reduced the risk of influenza A-related hospitalization among adults by nearly half. Vaccination also provided significant protection against flu-related illness and flu-related emergency department visits, with people who were vaccinated about half as likely to have those outcomes as people who had not been vaccinated.
