Public Health at DU

DU Students, Faculty & Staff are the core of the University. The Public Health Office incorporates a holistic approach in developing and supporting programs and initiatives designed to promote the health of the DU community, allowing students, faculty, and staff to thrive. Weaving physical and emotional health ideals into the fabric of DU strengthens the foundation of learning, working, and playing, and contributes to a thriving university.  

Established in 2022, DU’s Public Health Office operates under the auspices of the Office of Enterprise Risk Management. Monitoring health concerns locally, nationally, and globally is only part of what we do. We also focus on the well-being of the DU community, working across departments to establish resources for the community.

Missed the DU Flu Vaccine Clinics in October? 

Call your local pharmacy or doctor's office to schedule a time to get vaccinated. For those without insurance, see the link below for free or reduced cost vaccinations.

Most health insurers (including Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and private insurance) cover the full cost of flu, COVID-19, and RSV immunizations, so you don't have to pay anything at provider offices or pharmacies that accept your health plan. Even without health insurance, you can still get flu, RSV, and COVID-19 immunizations at low or no-cost at hundreds of locations statewide.
