Gannett recommends campus-wide vaccination in order to maximize the benefit of protection from illness. It's never too soon (or too late) to consider getting your flu vaccine, as viruses continue to circulate and cause illness even in warmer weather.

Flu vaccination on campus

No flu clinics are currently scheduled. The 2011-12 flu vaccine (both shots and mist) is available by appointment at Gannett. To schedule an appointment for flu vaccination, call Gannett at 255-5155 during business hours.

This year's vaccine protects against an influenza A (H3N2 virus), an influenza B virus, and the 2009 H1N1 virus. You should get vaccinated this year even if you got a seasonal vaccine last year because a person's protective antibody may decline and lead to inadequate protection in subsequent seasons.

Vaccine cost

• FREE to enrolled Cornell students, staff, and faculty. Student spouses and domestic partners on SHIP and Cornell retirees are also eligible. (Bring your Cornell ID.)
• $30 for student spouses and domestic partners not on SHIP. Spouses and domestic partners of staff and faculty should currently seek this vaccine from their primary care providers. 
  

Please note: Gannett does not offer flu vaccine to children. For child vaccination, we recommend contacting your child's pediatrician.

Flu vaccination off-campus

Vaccine is also available from local private health care providers and at some county clinics. If you are seeking other flu shot resources, please contact the Tompkins County Health Department or consult your primary care provider.
