ASCENSION SETON COVID BOOSTER FREE

For the health and safety of Ascension's workforce, Ascension strongly recommends that all associates receive the flu vaccine regardless of position status. Associates with this exemption will receive a notification email there is no action required. 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.Įxemption requests for the influenza vaccine must be submitted for review no later than October 1, 2022.Īssociates identified as fully remote, or who work exclusively in non-clinical office locations, are exempt from receiving the flu vaccine as this is our annual process, and influenza is not a pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get an influenza vaccine by the end of October. Proof of vaccination must be submitted on or before November 12, 2022.
