Flee the flu with vaccination
VUMC Home
Flu shots from the Occupational Health Clinic (OHC) for seasonal flu will be available for staff and faculty throughout flu season. OHC will also be offering flu vaccine in its main clinic, 640 Medical Arts Building throughout flu season. OHC’s vaccine sites will be scheduled in coming weeks in the Medical Center, on the main University campus, at One Hundred Oaks, and at off-campus departments and clinics. Everyone coming to get a shot should have his or her ID badge.
“Fortunately, this year only one flu shot is needed. The H1N1 virus that required a separate vaccine last year is covered by the seasonal flu vaccine this year.” said Melanie Swift, M.D., medical director of the Occupational Health Clinic.
The OHC Late Night Cart will also have flu vaccine to serve the night and weekend hospital staff.  There will also be a Flu Kiosk at rotating locations throughout flu season.  
The Occupational Health website has details, including locations, dates and times to get a flu shot.  
Vanderbilt Medical Students should visit Student Health to obtain their flu vaccine this year.
