Where to Get Your Flu Shot

Thursday, September 15, 2016

UCSF will be holding free drop-in flu shot clinics for all UCSF employees, students and volunteers from Monday, September 19 to Friday, October 14. The UCSF flu shot drop-in clinics are part of an effort to protect staff, patients and the integrity of the UCSF workforce.

The drop-in clinics will be at various UCSF locations including: Parnassus, Mt. Zion, Mission Bay, Mission Center Building, Laurel Heights, China Basin, Executive Park, 3360 Geary, and Emeryville.

The 2016 Flu Shot Drop-In Clinic schedule is available here.

Everyone who receives a flu shot will be given a yellow sticker that must be placed on the front of his or her ID badge. Old stickers should be removed.

Employees who receive a vaccination outside of UCSF must submit documentation to Occupational Health Services to receive a sticker and be in compliance with UCSF policy.

In accordance with California law and UCSF Medical Center policy, it is required that all UCSF Medical Center staff, students and volunteers receive an annual influenza vaccination or complete a declination form.

If you wish to decline, you must complete the online declination form and wear a hospital-supplied mask while in patient care or clinical areas for the duration of the influenza season. The declination form will be made available in mid-November on the UCSF Occupational Health website.
