According to Dr. Meredith Hayden, chief medical officer for Student Health and Wellness, SHW has observed low numbers of Flu A among the student population. However, she said it is too early in the season to definitively determine if flu is spreading faster or is more severe than in previous years.
Student Health & Wellness, in partnership with CVS Pharmacy, will host four on-Grounds vaccine clinics this academic year. These clinics provide a convenient opportunity for members of the UVA community to receive recommended and required immunizations. The September clinic is especially helpful for students who need to complete outstanding pre-entrance immunization requirements after arriving at UVA. All clinics are open to the UVA community.
Support for Students
Student Health and Wellness recognizes the impact of trauma on individuals in our community. Our focus is to Support the health and Well-being of all UVA students. Check out our list of supportive resources that may be helpful in processing and coping with difficult emotions.
Proactive outreach to the UVA community, students, faculty, and staff, is essential for fostering a healthy and supportive on-Grounds environment. By offering educational programs and resources on topics ranging from stress management and suicide prevention to substance use support and mental health, Student Health and Wellness works with University offices to bring outreach to students.
Schedule Medical Care
Since 2017 Medical Services sees an average of 36,000 visits each academic year. As the primary home for medical services on Grounds, our team of nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, care managers, and registered dietitians work collaboratively with other areas in Student Health and Wellness to deliver holistic medical care to students.
