Flu Vaccination Requirements

Foundation Health Partners (FHP) requires that all employees, volunteers, students, licensed practitioners, non-employed contract personnel and vendors to receive the flu vaccine on an annual basis. Influenza vaccine is available free of charge, through Occupational Health Services, to all FHP employees, medical staff and volunteers. Denali Retail Pharmacy has the flu vaccine available for clinical contracted employees and students.     

Any individuals who become FHP employees or volunteers during the annual vaccination program must obtain the appropriate influenza vaccination, or exemption, for the current influenza season within two weeks of hire/start date.

On-site contractors and allied heath members not employed by FHP must provide proof of flu vaccinations, or exemption, during the designated flu season.

To best serve our community, FHP needs to ensure a healthy workforce. FHP requires employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 (or receive appropriate exemption). 

There are many places to get the vaccine or booster, including Denali Pharmacy at FMH. (Click here to make an appt. with Denali Pharmacy.)
