Day: October 8, 2013

Working with Portage Health, Benefit Services is hosting three flu-vaccine clinics on campus this fall.

Employees, retirees and their dependents, as well as students, are welcome to attend one of the clinics.  Shots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis; no appointment is necessary.

Employees and retirees with Michigan Tech’s Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and students with Aetna student health should bring their member card so the vaccine can be billed to insurance.  Without insurance, the vaccine is $25 (payable by cash, check or credit card).  Identification is required and anyone under the age of 18 cannot be vaccinated without parental permission.

Be prepared to provide a picture ID and insurance card to have the vaccine administered and billed to insurance.  A spouse or child may attend without the employee.

Clinics will be in the Memorial Union Peninsula Room:
Monday, Oct. 21, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 24, 4-7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 7, 4-7 p.m.
