Flu Shot Pop-Up Clinics for UAMS Employees, Volunteers and Students Begin Monday, September 16, 2019.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, the influenza vaccination is the best strategy to protect the health of our staff and students and the patients and families we serve. Compliance with the mandatory flu vaccine policy is a condition for employment at UAMS in accordance with the UAMS policy HR.4.5.8.
Employees, students and volunteers are encouraged to take advantage of the many SEHS pop-up vaccination clinics being offered through the months of September, October and November. Flu vaccinations will only be available at the pop-up flu vaccination clinics during this time. You will not be able to get a flu shot at the Student and Employee Health Clinic until after November 20th.
How to complete the online flu vaccination consent
- Choose a time and date from the SEHS pop-up flu clinic schedule that works for you
- Complete the online flu consent form no more than 48 hours prior to arriving at the flu clinic. After 48 hours, the consent will be void and a new consent will need to be completed. Failing to complete the consent prior to arriving will delay you in receiving your vaccination.
