CVS/MIT Health Vaccination Clinics
This year, MIT Health is partnering with CVS Health to provide both flu and COVID-19 immunizations for the MIT community on campus and at Lincoln Laboratory. Visit the MIT Health page for campus or Lincoln Laboratory, select your preferred location and time, then click schedule online. The link will take you to the CVS Health registration page where you can make your appointment. You will need your health insurance card to schedule your appointment.
Same-day appointments may be available on a case-by-case basis, but you will need to schedule through the CVS system. To check for same-day appointment availability, scan the QR code at the vaccination clinic entrance. Vaccines are available for patients ages 5 and older, and high-dose flu vaccines will be available for individuals aged 65 and older. A limited number of doses Flucelvax®, an egg-free flu vaccine, will be available at each clinic.

Vaccines are available to all members of the MIT community and their immediate family members ages 5 and older. This includes:
Enrolled students, living on or off campus

How do I change or cancel my appointment?

What if I need a record of my vaccination?

Note: It can take up to several weeks for the information to be posted to the state database.
About this year’s vaccines
The 2026–27 flu vaccine offered at MIT is trivalent, protecting against two strains of influenza A (H1N1 and H3N2) and one strain of influenza B. Learn more.
The vaccine is preservative-free and does not contain thimerosal. High-dose vaccines are available for individuals aged 65 and older.
The flu vaccine does not provide protection against COVID-19 You will need to sign up to also receive a COVID-19 vaccine to be protected from the latest strains of COVID-19.
Active flu strains are different each year, so even if you got a flu immunization last year, you still need to get this year’s vaccine.
The COVID-19 vaccine offered at MIT will be Moderna, while supplies last. Doses of the Pfizer vaccine may be substituted according to availability.
