For Purdue faculty and staff who haven’t yet received a flu shot, several convenient options remain. Seasonal flu shots are available at no cost to benefits-eligible faculty and staff, as well as dependents covered on a Purdue health plan. Employees attending the flu shot events should bring their Purdue University Identification (PUID); covered dependents will also use the employee’s PUID.
