Clarification on flu vaccine deadline
You may have received a message yesterday from Occupational Health regarding flu vaccine or other vaccine services.
The important points to note are:
-
The deadline for flu vaccination or approved flu exemption is December 1.
-
Individuals working from home can continue to do so and do not need to come to campus to receive their flu vaccine. Flu vaccination can be obtained at any location that is convenient for you, such as Occ Health’s One Hundred Oaks location or Vanderbilt Walk-In Clinics or Walgreens locations (at Walgreens, be sure to go to the clinic location within the store, not the pharmacy).
-
Vaccine services other than flu vaccine can be delayed while working remotely.
For more information about Occupational Health’s flu vaccination program and ways to get your flu vaccine, please visit the Occupational Health’s flu website at https://www.vumc.org/health-wellness/employee-influenza-vaccine-program
