As a convenience to university faculty and staff working on campus, VCU HR has arranged for Walgreens, a participating pharmacy with the COVA health plans, to conduct four flu immunization clinics on campus during September and October. The following procedures apply to the flu immunization clinics:
- The clinics are available only to faculty and staff working on campus. Faculty and staff who telework off campus should remain off campus and may obtain a flu immunization from an off-campus pharmacy or provider
- Appointments are preferred using the Walgreens scheduler. However, walk-ins will be accepted. Employees must bring their health plan ID card and photo ID to the clinic at their appointed time.
- Only university faculty and staff may schedule appointments for the on-campus clinics. Family members should not be brought to campus.
- Employees feeling unwell should not attend the clinics.
As a reminder, flu immunizations are covered by the COVA health plans with no out-of-pocket cost when obtained from a participating provider. For a full list of participating pharmacies and more information see: www.dhrm.virginia.gov

Getting a flu shot is one of the best actions you can take to stay healthy. With that in mind, the COVA Care, COVA HealthAware and COVA HDHP health plans provide free flu shots (covered by the prescription drug benefit of your health plan) for eligible employees and their covered dependents. For your convenience, VCU Human Resources has arranged for Walgreens, a participating pharmacy for the COVA health plans, to conduct on-campus flu vaccination clinics as listed below. Please bring your COVA health plan member ID card to the on-campus clinics.
Unable to make one of the on-campus clinics?
Most pharmacies offer the flu vaccination. To receive the flu shot at no cost, call a convenient local retail pharmacy to verify that they offer onsite immunizations and that they participate in your health plan’s pharmacy network.
Special Note for COVA HealthAware participants: If you intend to use your flu shot to obtain “Do Right” credit in your Aetna Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), be sure to obtain written confirmation of your flu shot from the participating pharmacy.
On-campus events coordinated by VCU Human Resources. Immunizations provided by Walgreens.
If you’d like to volunteer at an upcoming flu clinic, please reach out to Cindi Phares at cphares@vcu.edu Notes for volunteers: You should only volunteer during your scheduled work hours and make sure to obtain supervisory approval.
