If their insurance does not cover the flu shot or if they are uninsured, they will not receive a bill. There are two ways to get vaccinated by the CHC on campus:
Students can also get their flu shot at any convenient location, including their primary care provider or most pharmacies. How do students upload flu shot documentation to the university? Health professional students (e.g. nursing, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.) should notify their department. Each health professional school/college will have a documented process for uploading and verifying that students have had the flu shot. All other students will notify the Campus Health Center. To upload documents to the CHC Patient Portal, go to health.wayne.edu and click on the link at the bottom left of the page entitled, Patient Portal, under the Useful Links section. Students must create a username and password the first time they use the system. Once in the portal, go to the Messages or Ask a Question section and submit a note with an uploaded/attached file. |
