Student Health Services offers required and optional immunizations to protect your health.
Immunization Clinics
We offer immunization clinics several times during the fall and spring semesters. These clinics offer immunizations required by Boston University: MMR, TDAP, Meningitis (ACWY), Hepatitis B, and Varicella. They also offer optional HPV immunizations. Some clinic dates offer the flu shot.
Immunizations are free for students with SHIP. Non-SHIP students will be charged for the cost of the vaccine(s) received and receive a copy of their receipt through Patient Connect to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.
Visit our calendar to view upcoming immunization clinics and details.
