Influenza immunization requirements begin

Employee Health Services is now offering influenza immunizations for employees of Loma Linda University Health in preparation for the 2018-2019 flu season.

Employees must participate in the annual influenza vaccination campaign. All employees who enter clinical areas must either receive the influenza immunization or provide a written declination, as required by California Senate Bill 739, if they work a single day from Oct. 1, 2018, through March 31, 2019.

Employees who do not receive the immunization must wear a mask beginning Nov. 1 and continuing at least through March 2019, by order of the San Bernardino County Health Department. They must also complete their declination form by Dec. 31.

Staff members who receive the flu vaccine through Employee Health Services will be given an orange-and-white sticker for their badges, signifying their immunized status. 

The vaccinations are available by attending one of the mobile vaccination clinics around campus (schedule below). Badge required.

Employees may also receive their vaccination at another location and obtain the orange-and-white badge sticker by completing a “received elsewhere” form.

Forms

Find the “received elsewhere” and declination forms on One Portal.
