Influenza Vaccine |
![]() | Ascension is committed to providing a safe environment for associates, patients and visitors. In alignment with this commitment, all healthcare personnel (HCP) providing services are required to receive an annual influenza vaccination. | |
![]() | Requirement information | |
Associates will be required to submit proof of influenza vaccination. Proof of vaccination must be submitted on or before November 12, 2022. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get an influenza vaccine by the end of October. However, getting vaccinated early (for example, in July or August) is likely to be associated with reduced protection against flu infection later in the flu season, particularly among older adults. | ||
For those with direct reports | ||
Fulfillment reports will be available soon. Once these reports are available, associates can check with their managers regarding receipt of their vaccine documentation. | ||
For contingent workers or contractors | ||
The flu vaccine requirement applies to all HCPs providing services at our Health Care Ministries, including independent providers and contingent workers such as contractors, students and volunteers. Any contingent worker, contractor or non-employed healthcare provider who is subject to the influenza vaccine requirement may receive a vaccine from an AOH vaccine clinic, where a receipt will be provided to you. If you fall into this category, you should provide your flu documentation to your company or school (unless your company or school advises you to submit your flu documentation to Ascension AOH). | ||

Requesting an exemption from the influenza vaccine | ||
Whether you are requesting an exemption for medical contradictions, or requesting an exemption due to your sincerely held religious beliefs, you will need to submit your request electronically. Your medical exemption request requires that you provide documentation from a licensed healthcare provider who is providing ongoing medical care to you.
