Flu Shot Clinics Suspended Until Further Notice

To the Emory University Community:

Due to the unprecedented need for vaccine manufacturers to simultaneously produce both seasonal and H1N1 influenza vaccines, Emory University has experienced an unexpected interruption in seasonal vaccine delivery.  Therefore we regret that we must suspend the Emory University “It’s Worth a Shot” faculty/staff/student seasonal flu vaccination clinics until further notice. 

The following vaccination clinics will be cancelled:

If you are an Emory Healthcare employee, we encourage you to take advantage of seasonal flu shots sponsored by the Emory Healthcare Employee Health Services. Scheduled vaccination clinics for Emory Healthcare employees as well as Emory University employees working in patient care will continue as announced.

We will provide additional communications once we receive our vaccine delivery and resume the University campaign.

For more information about influenza vaccinations and prevention, please visit the Faculty Staff Assistance Program website at: www.fsap.emory.edu or the Student Health and Counseling Service website at: www.studenthealth.emory.edu or call FSAP at: 404-727-4328.

We apologize for any inconvenience these flu shot clinic cancellations may cause and appreciate your understanding during this very busy influenza season.

Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Huey, Executive Director, Student Health and Counseling Services
Dr. Paula Gomes, Director, Faculty Staff Assistance Program
