Get Ready for Flu Season at On-Campus Pharmacy

NSU makes it easy to get vaccinated with our on-campus NSU Health Pharmacy in the Sanford L. Ziff Health Care Center (University Drive and SW 30th Street). Appointments are recommended (call 954-262-4550), but walk-ins are welcomed. The pharmacy staff can address any concerns or questions about the flu and COVID-19 vaccines, fill prescriptions, provide medication counseling, and schedule other vaccines. At the full-service pharmacy, you can also purchase over-the-counter medications and supplies.

“The seasonal flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over six months of age,” said Goar Alvarez, Pharm.D., C.Ph., FASCP, assistant dean of Pharmacy Services at the Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy.

The flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine and boosters have been formulated to protect you against this year’s anticipated viruses and variants. To save time, you can get flu and COVID vaccines during the same pharmacy visit.

Many health insurance plans cover the annual flu shot as preventive care. The same is true for COVID shots. Most NSU employees receive a 10% discount for on-campus pharmacy services when they present their Shark Card ID. NSU Health works with many health insurance plans. Check with your insurance carrier for coverage specifics.

“We offer a traditional community pharmacy with a ‘white glove touch,’” Alvarez said. “We’re focused on taking care of our faculty and staff.”

The Office of Human Resources is collaborating with the NSU Pharmacy and ICUBA to provide free seasonal flu shots to all faculty and staff enrolled in an ICUBA medical plan.
