Flu Shots
Having the flu is never pleasant. To help you prepare for this year’s flu season, the Division of Human Resources is partnering with Occupational Medicine to provide flu shots on campus at a discounted cost for full- and part-time Penn faculty and staff. Keep in mind you must pre-register online to receive a flu shot.
