It is time to take it or leave it! SEASONAL FLU VACCINE!

   DATE:          September 4, 2013

 

   SUBJECT:    2013-14 Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Program

 

It's that time again!  Flu season is approaching and all Medical Staff members, employees and volunteers will be required to provide documentation of a current influenza vaccination.  As always, THE Hospital will provide free flu shots to our medical staff in the Employee Health Office at the hospital starting Monday, September 16.  The schedule for ongoing immunization clinics at the hospital is listed in the table below.  If you choose to be vaccinated elsewhere, you must provide proof of that vaccination in writing to the Medical Staff Office. 

 

Any Medical Staff member requiring a medical or religious exemption from vaccination must submit a request for exemption in writing to the Medical Staff Office from their personal physician stating the reason for exemption. 

 

Documentation of vaccination or exemption must be received by the Medical Staff Office by October 15 or the Medical Staff member's privileges will be suspended for the entire influenza season.

 

Thanks as always for helping keep our patients and our coworkers healthier during the influenza season.
