UM students, faculty and staff should bring their Ole Miss ID and prescription insurance card. What insurance doesn&#8217;t cover can be charged to Bursar accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vaccine will be offered as a drive-thru at the <strong>South Oxford Center Parking Garage<\/strong>, at <strong>2301 South Lamar Blvd<\/strong>. COVID-19 symptoms and temperatures will be checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operation Immunization will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 23) and Oct. 6, 15, 21 and 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flu vaccine is also available at <strong>Pharmacy Health Services<\/strong>, inside the <strong>V.B. Harrison Health Center<\/strong> on campus, during its regular hours of operation: 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Whitney Tarpy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student pharmacists will offer drive-thru flu shots on select dates The University of Mississippi chapter of the American<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":103095,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15309],"tags":[17121,17120,17122],"class_list":["post-103094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-university-events","tag-american-pharmacists-association-academy-of-student-pharmacists","tag-eric-pham","tag-operation-immunization"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Operation-Immunization-1.jpg?fit=2209%2C1240&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/238"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
