Flu Shot Clinics
As per the new Massachusetts mandate, all Brandeis students, including those on and off campus, must receive the flu vaccination in order to attend in-person classes.

Flu shots will be available on campus, Oct. 5 through Oct. 16, at all Brandeis COVID-19 testing locations. Students on campus can sign up for a flu shot through the Campus Passport Portal.

Eat, Sleep, Move Week
2020 has not been an easy year, and the transition to winter brings with it additional challenges to our well-being. The goal of Eat, Sleep, Move Week is to remind us of the importance of these simple but vital self-care fundamentals: eating well, sleeping well, and moving our bodies.
