Seasonal flu shots available to employees

Shots not for H1N1 It’s important to note that seasonal flu shots will not protect recipients against the novel H1N1 virus. A vaccine for that virus will be released later this year and distribution plans for these shots will be published at a later time.

UNMC, The Nebraska Medical Center and UNMC Physicians employees can receive free seasonal flu shots at a series of clinics soon to be held on campus.
