In October, benefits-eligible Purdue faculty, staff and dependents covered on a Purdue health plan can continue to receive a seasonal flu shot at no cost. With options available across Purdue locations and in the community, employees can choose where and when getting vaccinated works best for their schedules.

Employees attending flu shot events should bring their Purdue University identification; covered dependents will also use the employee’s PUID.

Next steps

  • Find an upcoming flu shot opportunity. Visit the 2026 Purdue Flu Shot Information webpage for October dates, locations and details.
  • Earn additional wellness incentives. As part of the 2026 Your Path Wellness Program, eligible employees can earn incentives for receiving their flu vaccine. Record the completed activity in the Your Path Portal after vaccination.
