Don't wait until the last minute— mandatory flu vaccine compliance Nov. 1

By Nov. 1, all UC Davis Health staff and faculty must receive their flu vaccination or submit a declination form. Those not in compliance will be escalated to Employee and Labor Relations and will not be permitted to work or train at UC Davis Health per Policy 2175.

Why Get Vaccinated

As flu season approaches, it's crucial to protect yourself and others. Employee Health Services is offering free flu vaccines to help prevent severe disease and hospitalization among staff, students, and faculty. Last year, our vaccination rate dipped to 79.9% due to overall vaccination fatigue. This year, our target is to achieve an 85% vaccination rate. Those who decline to receive the vaccine will be mandated to wear a medical-grade mask in all settings starting Nov. 1 throughout the entire flu season (typically through April).
