UNMC Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, stepped forward Thursday to get his seasonal flu shot, visiting the UNMC College of Pharmacy\u2019s Operation Immunization vaccine clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Davies wore his UNMC-red \u201cAt Our Best Together\u201d t-shirt while he received his vaccine from P-1 pharmacy student Stephen Steggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach year, I prioritize getting my flu shot because it\u2019s a simple way to care for myself and the Nebraska community,\u201d Dr. Davies said. \u201cI want to thank the College of Pharmacy and the student who administered my vaccine this year, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of the convenience of our campus and Nebraska Medicine clinics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Operation Immunization clinics are going on now through Sept. 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska Medicine\u2019s campus clinics start Oct. 9 and run through Nov. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
