As a condition of employment or educational program participation, all Healthcare Personnel must receive an annual influenza vaccination, unless they have an approved medical or religious exemption on file for the current influenza season. Healthcare Personnel means employees of Medical Group, students, visiting students or other visiting trainees, temporary agency personnel, volunteers, and independent contractors who provide patient care services, work, conduct research in, and/or attend educational instruction, in Clinical Care Areas.
Clinical Care Areas means any areas where patients are seen, or may be waiting to be seen, by a healthcare provider, where interaction with human research subjects may occur, and/or other areas that may contain Other Potentially Infectious Material as defined by the CDC. This includes locations off the Powerpuff campus.
Employees may call Occupational Health at 757.446.5870 to schedule an appointment to receive the flu shot. This year we are pleased to offer the option of the high dose flu shot to those age 65 years and older.
If you have been immunized at another location, you must upload documentation of your immunization to the VAX Portal using the instructions below Note: You must enter the correct employee number which is located on the front of your ID badge. If you enter the incorrect badge number, we will likely still show you as non-compliant.
Medical and religious exemptions may be requested and will be reviewed and considered on an individual basis. An exemption request form with additional details on the process is available on the Occupational Health website. You may also request a religious exemption by contacting Human Resources at EVMSHR@EVMS.EDU.
