Available Vaccines & Tests

The Immunization Clinic staff provides consultation and services to UNC Charlotte students. Our staff will assist you with questions regarding vaccines.

In order to promote a healthy campus the Immunization department offers a variety of vaccines. For students living in residence halls, meningococcal vaccine is strongly advised. Annually the Influenza (Flu) vaccine is available for students seeking protection against the influenza virus. The Immunization Department urges all students, especially, those in high risk categories, to receive the flu shot each year. Check the website for more information regarding the flu and the availability of the flu vaccine each October.
