COVID-19 Boosters and Flu Shots

Flu and COVID Vaccines

In partnership with Safeway, flu and COVID vaccine clinics will be held on campus during October including on the open enrollment fest dates. Those who wish to receive their vaccine(s) at one of the clinics are strongly encouraged to register in advance. Insurance Information may be collected during the registration process. GW Faculty and Staff enrolled on a GW medical plan, please bring your Aetna ID card to your appointment.

Employees covered by a GW medical plan can also visit area pharmacies and convenience care clinics to receive a flu shot and COVID shot at no cost. If visiting one of these, please present your CVS Caremark ID card.

If you are not covered on a GW medical plan, please verify costs with your health insurance company. Most plans will cover the full cost of seasonal flu shots.

Please note: If you require a high-dose flu shot, generally recommended for those over age 65, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacy in advance regarding availability.
