COVID and Flu Vaccines to be given next week at the Breslin Center

The Ingham County Health Department and Michigan State University are hosting a Flu and COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Wednesday, November 16th, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Breslin Center on campus for students and folks from the greater Lansing region.

The clinic will offer the COVID-19 vaccine, including first and second doses and bivalent booster doses. The COVID-19 vaccine is free. The clinic will also offer the seasonal influenza vaccine. Flu vaccines are available at a low cost or may be available at no cost with most insurance.

“Ingham County Health Department is thrilled to partner with Michigan State University to provide both Flu and COVID-19 vaccines to students and the surrounding community,” said Linda Vail, Ingham County Health Officer. “As we enter the season of respiratory virus spread, including COVID-19 and influenza, getting vaccinated is one of the greatest tools to protect yourself and others. I encourage everyone to stay up-to-date on all of their vaccines.”

For those attending the vaccination clinic, free parking will be available in Lot 63 of the Breslin Center, off of Harrison Road. Individuals should enter the Breslin Center through the Hall of History entrance located at the southeast corner of the building. Individuals should bring their COVID-19 vaccination record card and insurance card with them to their appointment, if possible.

Appointments are strongly encouraged; however, walk-ins will be accommodated when possible. The community can register for a vaccination appointment at https://hd.ingham.org/coronavirus/r_1014.aspx.
