Mandatory Flu Vaccinations
It’s that time of year again! Employee Health will offer free vaccine clinics Monday, Oct. 7 – Thursday, Nov. 14. Flu vaccinations are mandatory, with 100% compliance by Friday, Nov. 15.
These vaccinations are free and open to all employees, physicians and volunteers—all of whom are required to be vaccinated against the flu— at various locations and times. No appointment is needed during scheduled clinics.
If you receive the flu vaccine outside of Suburban, you must submit that documentation to Employee Health by Nov. 14. If seeking an exemption, the deadline is Nov. 5. Download this handout for more information and the necessary documentation.
