Risk Management Services coordinates free influenza immunizations (flu vaccine) for UBC students, faculty and staff every year in November.

Please note: The 2012/13 clinics are now finished.

Clinics are held in a variety of locations across campus, in partnership with hosting departments/units.  

"The flu is not always a harmless illness. It can cause serious health risks, including death. A person with influenza is also at risk of other infections," says Vancouver Coastal Health. "Your best defense is to get your flu shot."
