WALK IN IMMUNIZATION CLINIC

Walk in immunizations are offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11:00 to 1:00.  Immunizations are also available by appointment.  Remember, flu shots are required for all clinical students this year.  Every clinical student must get a flu shot OR sign a declination form at Student Health.  

For those considering a declination, please understand that a declination may affect clinical placement because medical institutions may not accept students who have not been vaccinated.  Failure to secure a clinical placement could have adverse effects on the ability to complete the requirements for a degree from KUMC.

Flu shots are no longer available at Student Health Services, however it may still be possible to get a flu shot through the KUMC Occupational Health Clinic or through your own provider.   However, if you receive your vaccination elsewhere, please be sure to provide documentation to Student Health so that you will not receive a hold on your account.
