Beginning this week, employee flu vaccinations are available onsite at various YNHHS locations.
Employees are reminded that receiving an annual flu vaccination, or having an approved medical or religious exemption, is a condition of employment. This requirement includes employees who are working remotely. This year’s deadline for vaccination or approved exemption is Dec. 1. (The deadline to submit forms to request an exemption is Oct. 14. Please see below for details).
Employees must schedule their flu shot by signing into Infor and selecting “Get Your Flu Vaccine” under the Employee Health section on the Infor landing page.
Volunteers, students, travelers, vendors, and non-employed licensed independent practitioners may schedule an appointment through ynhhs.org/GetVaccinated.
In addition to onsite locations, employees may choose to get vaccinated at their primary care physician’s office or at a participating retail pharmacy. Those enrolled in the YNHHS Medical Plan will have their copay automatically waived if they get vaccinated after Sept. 1 at a retail pharmacy in the CVS Caremark vaccination network, such as CVS, Walgreens or Stop & Shop. Those who get vaccinated at a CVS MinuteClinic must present their Cigna card to have their copay waived.
If you receive your vaccination at your PCP’s office or a participating pharmacy, you will need to upload your proof of vaccination on Employee Self Service (ESS).
Information about applying for a medical or religious exemption is available on ESS. Employees with an existing medical exemption for the influenza vaccine do not need to reapply. Employees who were previously granted a religious exemption will need to complete an annual attestation, which can be found on ESS. Employees must complete and submit all documentation for the appropriate exemption or attestation by Oct. 14.
To access all related forms and instructions go to Flu Validation/Exemption on the Employee Health section of the intranet.
