Healthcare Workers

Must receive and report their vaccination by Nov. 1, or submit a declination form. Review steps for reporting/declining vaccination.
Healthcare workers who decline the vaccine may be required to comply with local or state public health guidance, including face-covering requirements or other non-pharmaceutical interventions.

According to the CDPH, the best way to protect yourself and your family against flu, especially more severe illness, is by getting vaccinated.

It can keep you from getting sick with the flu.
If you do get the flu after getting the flu vaccine, the symptoms are likely to be less severe.
Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-associated hospitalization.
It helps protect the people around you who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness.

All health insurance plans cover influenza vaccinations, though they may place restrictions on where a person can receive the shot for free.

Students with the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) can access the flu vaccine at the Student Health and Wellness Center with 100% coverage.
Students without UC SHIP can call the number on the back of their insurance card to be connected to a healthcare provider or location where flu vaccines are covered by their plan. Students without UC SHIP can also obtain a flu vaccine at the Student Health and Wellness Center by paying a $40 fee ($15 visit fee plus $25 for the flu vaccine).
Any registered student can make an appointment via Health-e-Messaging to get their flu vaccine, regardless of insurance status.
Academics and staff on the Davis campus should contact their health care provider to learn where to get their flu vaccine.

When should I get a vaccine, and which one?
Please follow the CDPH guidance on how to remain up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine.
I’m having symptoms because of the vaccine, should I go to work?
Symptoms can develop because of a reaction to the vaccine, but they can also develop because of an infection from the virus. It’s strongly recommended that you stay home when feeling any symptoms. You may return to work after symptoms resolve from taking the vaccine.
