Notre Dame’s University Health Services say students will be required to receive a flu vaccine this fall.
UHS Director Edward Junkins said in the email that the decision comes as part of an effort to reduce the spread of respiratory-based illnesses and minimize flu symptoms on campus.
The Observer reports that The University will hold two free flu blitzes in October, one the 4 through the 6th, and the other at the end of the month. Students who receive the vaccine off campus will be required to upload documentation to the UHS portal.
Any student failing to get a flu shot by November 1st will face a freeze on their class registration for next semester.

Despite the fact that the flu vaccine is a time tested technology, mandating it is no better than mandating a COVID jab.
First it was Covid oh it is killing everyone now it’s the flu, lets not forget the Spanish flu could happen was again. That slippery slope the right wing extremists were warning you about has started already.
It’s funny Catholics are against abortion but aborted fetus cells can be ok for vaccines…
