Flu, Covid, and Pneumonia vaccinations are available on the Athens campus

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses like flu is more important than ever. Vaccination against both flu and coronavirus is essential to reduce your risk of getting the flu or being hospitalized with flu complications, to protect vulnerable populations like the elderly, the immunocompromised and people not yet old enough to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and to help save scarce medical resources needed to care for people with COVID-19.

The Benefits Office is excited to team up with Kroger to offer free immunizations to employees covered by the University’s Anthem/CVS Caremark insurance plans. Specifically, Kroger is offering flu, COVID-19 and pneumonia vaccines on the Athens campus in the Baker University Center ballroom on Thursday, October 21, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Friday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please register online to receive your vaccination(s).
