Flu Vaccinations

Information regarding flu vaccinations for UAMS employees, volunteers, non-employees and students

Flu Vaccination Requirement

Flu vaccinations are mandatory (HR.4.5.18) for all UAMS employees, volunteers, non-employees and students.

According to CDC guidelines, the influenza vaccination is the best strategy to protect the health of our staff and students and the patients and families we serve.

If you receive your vaccination outside of a Student and Employee Health Flu clinic, please upload your documentation to your MyChart account. Flu hang tags will not be required or distributed for flu season. 

Employees and students who do not get the flu shot and are not granted an exemption will be subject to disciplinary measures.

Where to Get Your Flu Shot

Vaccinations are available to all central Arkansas UAMS employees and students in the Student and Employee Health Services Clinic.

In addition to the standard flu vaccine, Student and Employee Health Services offers Flu Blok and high-dose vaccinations.

Vaccinations will be available at mass flu clinics starting October 4th 2024 – November 16th, 2024.

More information about the flu vaccine and the student and employee flu shot schedule will be sent by UAMS email.

Employees Outside of Pulaski County

Employees and students working outside of Pulaski County, Arkansas, may receive their vaccine at one of the UAMS Regional Campuses. Please contact the employee health nurse at your local UAMS Regional Campus to arrange for your vaccine.

Complete the Flu Vaccination Consent Form through MyChart

Flu vaccination consent is paperless. Before you get in line to receive a vaccine from a Student and Employee Health Services Clinic, please do the following:

  • Complete the flu vaccination appointment scheduling and consent form through MyChart no more than 48 hours prior to arriving for your appointment at the flu vaccine clinic. After 48 hours, the consent will be void, a new appointment will need to be scheduled, and consent will need to be completed. Failing to complete your appointment and consent prior to arriving will delay your vaccination appointment.
  • Bring your UAMS ID badge to the flu vaccination clinic.

Who Are Non-Employees?

Non-employees are defined as non-UAMS workers, contractors, visiting students, visiting faculty, pharmaceutical representatives, traveling nurses, locum tenens physicians, custodians, and employees of businesses who work on a UAMS campus.
