Yale Health is once again offering free influenza (flu) and COVID vaccines to Yale faculty, staff, students, and Yale Health members through our annual vaccination clinics. Details are below, as well as a bit about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine. 

Yale Health recently its annual Flu clinics are now accepting appointments from members of the Yale community, including Yale Health members, and university faculty, staff, and students. 

The following medications are commonly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes or weight management: Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda, Trulicity, or Mounjaro. In recent months, the demand for these drugs, as well as supply issues, have led to a global shortage of these medications.

Lock Street will become a one-way street due to construction occurring on Lock Street adjacent to Grove Street Cemetery.
