The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each year. Flu shots have been shown to reduce the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and missed work and school due to sickness, as well as reduce the risk of flu-related death in children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems.
Annual flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older, with rare exceptions
Flu shots are now available at the Health Network for students by appointment only.
Call (970) 491-7121 to make an appointment. Walk-ins are not allowed at this time.
The flu shot is a covered benefit, meaning there is no additional out-of-pocket cost, under most health insurance plans including the CSU-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan. Contact your insurance company in advance if you have questions about cost.
