Flu shots, health screenings available this month

Just in time for flu season, Rice is offering benefits-eligible faculty and staff free flu shots and health screenings on campus in October.

Rice retirees are also eligible to receive a free flu shot. Non-benefits eligible faculty and staff and their spouses or domestic partners can get the flu shot for $36 by paying at the time of service.

No appointment is needed to get the flu shot; just walk in to any of the flu shot or health screening events. Appointments are required for a health screening.
