This week!
Flu shots available on campus
To help protect against the flu, MIT Medical strongly recommends everyone get the flu shot. Active flu strains are different each year, so even if you got a flu shot last year, you still need to get this year's vaccine. All students are required to get a flu shot. MIT Medical is holding flu clinics all this week — October 3–7, 8:00 am–4:00 pm — in Walker Memorial. The clinics are free to all MIT ID holders, campus residents, and patients with MIT Medical.
