You may choose to get vaccinated at your doctor's office or someplace outside our program. Medical Center staff who are vaccinated outside the OHC program, even if vaccinated by a Vanderbilt provider, will need to report their vaccine to OHC. Remember that flu vaccination or approved exemption is due by December 1, 2024 for VUMC employees.
Note that remote employees are not required to submit flu documentation due to their remote work status in Workday, but are encouraged to receive the flu vaccine as an employee of VUMC.
If Occupational Health (which includes the Peer Vaccination Program) did not provide your flu vaccine, you may document flu immunization compliance this way:
Self-report your vaccine after you obtain it. Use this RedCap Survey to upload your external vaccine documentation. This REDCap allows you to:
- Upload documentation of your flu vaccine for us to enter into your Occupational Health record
OR - Grant us access to your medical record to confirm receipt of your vaccine, if your vaccine was given at a VUMC clinic, including Vanderbilt Health Walgreens Clinics. (Occupational Health does not access your medical record to obtain vaccine information without your consent).
