Your Brown ID is required. There is no charge for the vaccine. It will be provided by staff from Brown University Health Services. Over 1100 employees and 1700 students received the vaccine last year. The vaccine will not give you the flu.
Side effects are mild, usually a little soreness at the injection site.
Infrequently, you may develop a fever, chills or body aches within 48 hours of receiving the vaccine. If you are sick, have an acute respiratory infection or have a fever, you should delay getting the vaccine until your symptoms are gone.
