Get your flu shot

Get your flu shot

It’s always important to get a flu shot. But with COVID-19, it’s even more important this year. Flu is a dangerous disease, but it’s even more deadly when combined with the risks associated with COVID-19.

Our 2021 Cambridge Campus walk-in flu clinic has ended, but you can still get your shot.

Get your shot at a retail pharmacy, like CVS or Walgreens.
Attend a flu clinic in your community.
Get the shot from your care provider.
If you’re an MIT Medical patient, get the shot from your MIT Medical clinician.

The 2021–22 flu vaccine offered at MIT is quadrivalent, protecting against two strains of influenza A (H1N1 and H3N2) and two strains of influenza B.

Active flu strains are different each year, so even if you got a flu shot last year, you still need to get this year’s vaccine. More information about this year’s vaccine is available from the CDC (Vaccine Information Statement) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Massachusetts Immunization Information System).
