Flu shots recommended, clinics offered on campus

The Auburn Family is being encouraged to get a flu shot as soon as possible, and there are several options on campus for doing just that.

The Auburn University Medical Clinic offers walk-in flu shot clinics every day. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, Oct. 13, and Wednesday, Oct. 14, flu shots also will be given in the Harold D. Melton Student Center, Room 2326. Auburn employees can likewise receive their flu shot during their Healthy Tigers visit in the Auburn Employee Pharmacy. Flu shots are all the more important this year because symptoms of the flu and symptoms of COVID-19 overlap. This will reduce the potential risk of a flu outbreak simultaneously with the spread of COVID-19.
