All faculty and staff, as well as their dependents, are encouraged to get a flu shot to help you stay healthy throughout the winter months. In particular, faculty and staff who work in health sciences, or have any type of exposure to patients, should consider receiving the vaccination.
Those with UPMC Health Plan coverage can receive a flu shot at no cost in addition to receiving Health Incentive Reward Dollars for having it done. If you would prefer to obtain your flu shot off-campus, UPMC Health Plan members may do so from a participating provider at no out-of-pocket cost. Simply present your UPMC Health Plan member ID card at the time you receive your flu shot and you will not have to submit a receipt or any other additional paperwork to UPMC Health Plan. Employees without UPMC Health Plan coverage can still receive a flu shot at the clinics, but may have to pay the $45 out-of-pocket cost and seek reimbursement through their health insurer.
