Annual Re-fits can attend all available sessions. If this is your first time being fitted at VUMC, you can only attend the Initial sessions.

Reminder: Individuals must have no amount of facial hair/stubble, OR have a mustache/goatee that does not interfere with where the mask seals to the face to be Fit Tested. Shaving the same day as the fit test is recommended.

Check out this video to see acceptable facial hair styles for N-95 use.
