Even flu season is looking a little different this year, but you can still protect yourself and others this fall by taking advantage of the Student Health Centre’s flu shot clinic. Flu shots will be available on campus by appointment only this year and will be administered in the gym. Additionally, the number of available flu shots will be lower than usual, and as such a limited number of shots will be administered.
When can I get my shot?
Dates have not been officially set, but the Student Health Centre is working towards having appointment slots available from the last week of October into November. Finalized clinic dates will be made available on the myUNB Portal News tab, UNB Saint John Student Services Facebook page, and the UNB-SRC Facebook page.

Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever to make sure you receive the vaccine for your safety and the safety of those around you.
