Flu Vaccine
Fall is near, and Flu season is not far behind. Starting in October, Loyola University Chicago will offer free Flu vaccines to Faculty and Staff at the Lake Shore, Water Tower, and Health Sciences campuses. To obtain an on-campus Flu vaccine this fall, you must register through the Empower Health portal.

It can take up to two business weeks for your vaccination to appear in the Loyola health app.

None of The Providers or Locations are Convenient for Me; Can I Go Anywhere to Get My Flu Vaccine?
You are strongly encouraged to use an Aetna in-network provider. If a member obtains a Flu vaccine from a non-participating provider, payment for the Flu vaccine will be required at the time of administration. You can submit a claim for reimbursement, but it will be applied to your out of network benefits and not covered at 100%.
How Long Does the Flu Vaccine Last?
The duration of the Flu vaccine is six (6) months.
