Q&A about influenza

A campuswide goal of 90 percent has been set for vaccination receipt. This includes UNMC, Nebraska Medicine and Clarkson College.

As a reminder, tracking of vaccinations must be completed by Dec. 31 to comply with national reporting requirements.

    Link to additional times does not work

    If you are attempting to access the intranet links from the "guest" wi-fi link, it will not load. For staff to see the schedule, they must be signed in to UNMC computers or the password-protected TK-421 wi-fi system.
