Wake Forest University will offer free flu shots to all faculty, staff, and retirees from Sept. 30 to Oct. 13, 2026. And, new this year, MMR vaccines will be offered at three clinics. Spouses and dependent children (8 years and older), who are enrolled in the University’s medical plan are also eligible for clinic enrollment.
Two doses of the MMR vaccine are recommended by doctors as the best way to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. The MMR vaccine remains the best protection against infection and spread of measles, a highly contagious viral illness. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated and do not have documentation supporting their vaccination status and are exposed to measles may be required to quarantine for up to 21 days, which could mean missing classes, work, and campus activities. We recommend you verify your vaccination history and check with your doctor regarding any medical concerns before registering for a clinic.
WFU will offer a walk-up Flu Shot Clinic (no appointment necessary) during the Annual Benefits Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until available shots are gone) on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, in the Wellbeing Center Living Room.
