Flu and COVID-19 Vaccinations

Getting the flu and COVID-19 vaccines (shots) is the best way to reduce your risk of getting sick and spreading it to others.  

How to Get Your Vaccines

Emory University strongly encourages students, faculty, and staff to follow public health guidance and stay updated with flu and COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Emory employees with Emory University or Healthcare medical insurance can receive flu and COVID-19 vaccines at no cost at in-network locations. Those under the Emory Medical Plan can also access vaccines at $0 through pharmacy benefits at CVS and participating pharmacies like Walgreens, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Publix. To find nearby vaccination locations, visit vaccines.gov.

Flu Shot Requirement for Emory Healthcare Employees

All Emory Healthcare employees, including contractors and remote workers, must receive an annual flu shot or submit an exemption. Please upload your proof of vaccination or exemption to the Workplace Health (H.O.M.E.) portal via e-Vantage by 4 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9.

Processing Times:

  • Vaccination Documentation: Up to 2 weeks
  • Exemption Requests: Up to 4 weeks (reviewed by OHS clinicians)

Please note that submitting documentation via email may cause delays. Employees who do not complete the vaccination process by the deadline will face suspension without pay and cannot use PTO. We encourage you to get vaccinated early to avoid last-minute issues!
