UNC-Chapel Hill has begun providing opportunities for community members to obtain a flu vaccination on campus.
School of Medicine teammates with UNC Health clinical affiliations are required to receive a flu shot. Those with clinical affiliations are all faculty and staff employed by UNC-Chapel Hill who provide direct patient care or who otherwise perform job duties in a patient-facing setting. The timeline for compliance with UNC Health’s policy is Oct. 2 – Nov. 1.
All School of Medicine teammates are eligible for a free flu shot.
- The University Employee Occupational Health Clinic (UEOHC) will offer flu vaccinations for SOM health care personnel who are part of the Immunization Review Program during walk-in hours from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays.
- UEOHC is located on the 2nd floor of the AHEC Building at 145 Medical Drive.
- Information on other university clinics offering flu vaccination can be found here: https://flu.unc.edu/.
- Vaccines administered to SOM teammates will be automatically uploaded to the tracking system.
- UNC Hospitals’ Employee/Occupational Health clinic will be offering limited opportunities for teammates to receive their flu shot.

Religious and Medical Exemption Requests
School of Medicine teammates with clinical affiliations can request a religious or medical exemption online here.

- Religious exemptions are NOT carried over year by year. Religious exemptions will need to be submitted through the University online even if such exemption was granted in the previous
Important Reminders
