Flu shot key information
- The flu vaccination is mandatory for all team members, employed physicians, students and volunteers, unless they have an approved exemption.
- Team members can also get their flu vaccinations from their primary care provider or at other places where it is offered, but would need to provide documentation to Team Member Health by tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 6) at 4 p.m. by uploading your health record to Infor Employee Space (please refer to this tipsheet for detailed instructions) or by delivering the documentation to a Team Member Health location. No faxes or emails will be accepted.
- There is no cost for team members to get the vaccine.
- The vaccine is safe and can help protect our communities from the flu and, in turn, safeguard our staffing and resources during flu season. The vaccine is also safe for team members to receive at the same time they get a COVID-19 vaccination or booster.
- Dependents on our health plan can go to any Optum RX network pharmacy providing influenza vaccines, show their pharmacy insurance card and receive the free (to them) flu vaccine. Ballad Health pays for this important health benefit on behalf of our covered dependents on the health plan.
Thank you for helping us protect our patients, visitors and fellow team members!
