Flu Shot Information

To protect patients and to provide a safe environment for students, staff, and the public, all students and faculty who participate in clinicals/practicum are required to get the current seasonal flu vaccine. Failure to get this immunization may have implications for clinical attendance. For more information about the flu vaccine, click here.

Students who apply to the Veterinary Technology program are not required to get the flu vaccine.

Students must provide documentation of a flu shot that includes your name, date of birth, the date administered, name of vaccine administered, lot number and expiration date of the vaccine of the appropriate season’s flu vaccination. This information can be a receipt from the provider as long as all information is included. If using a clinic form, it must include the provider’s name, signature, and date.
