Iowa State faculty and staff members wanting to stay current with multiple vaccines have a one-day option to receive a COVID-19 and flu vaccine in a single visit. ISU WellBeing, occupational medicine and Hy-Vee will offer a COVID-19 booster, a regular flu vaccine and a high-dose flu vaccine during an employee clinic on Thursday, Nov. 7 (9 a.m.-3 p.m., 1218 State Gym).
The vaccines are available for these employee groups:
- Faculty, professional and scientific, merit and postdocs
- University child care centers
- Retirees on the university health plan who are not yet 65
- ISU Foundation
- Iowa State Daily
The regular flu shot has no cost to benefit-eligible employees. No appointment or registration is needed, and participants will check in electronically with their ISU ID number when they arrive.
Online registration is required for the COVID-19 booster and high-dose flu vaccine prior to the clinic. Both will be provided by Hy-Vee pharmacy, with the cost covered through ISU insurance. Those with other insurance should contact your provider to verify coverage.
The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines will be available. Employees receiving the COVID-19 or high-dose flu vaccine also should bring their university ID and insurance cards.
The high-dose flu vaccine is for those 65 years and older. To register for the high-dose version, select “Flu Vaccine” from the menu. Those 65 and older on Medicare are asked to bring their Medicare B card with them. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention does NOT recommend receiving both the regular and high-dose flu vaccines within the same flu season.
Employees are asked to wear a loose fitting shirt and enter State Gym through the south corner of the building. Parking will be available in the general staff lot (Lot 1) south of the building, including a limited number of free reserved spaces close to the building. CyRide also stops next to State Gym on Union Drive.
