Influenza Policy
Purpose
Nebraska Medicine is required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to report vaccination rates of those working in its facilities. Reporting vaccination status is an effort to minimize the impact of illness on our campus community and to assist the clinical enterprise with this reporting requirement.
Scope
This policy is applicable to all UNMC students and employees. It also may apply to campus visitors such volunteers, visiting scholars/students, and vendors.
Authorities and Administration
The UNMC Assistant Vice Chancellor and Executive Director of Human Resources, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Success, and the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine are responsible for the administration, implementation and maintenance of the policy.
Policy
Reporting
UNMC, in conjunction with Nebraska Medicine, has developed an online reporting system for employees and students to report influenza and COVID-19 vaccination statuses. Influenza and COVID-19 vaccines received at an Employee Health sponsored vaccination clinic will be automatically documented within the Health Tracking System. Nebraska Medicine and UNMC employees who receive or decline one or both vaccines outside of the Employee Health sponsored vaccination clinics are encouraged to update their vaccination status in the Health Tracking System.
Students: The vaccination information for students who receive their influenza and/or COVID-19 vaccination at a Student Health sponsored vaccination clinic on the Omaha campus will automatically be imported into the student’s PeopleSoft MyRecords Immunization Center and the Health Tracking System. Those vaccinated elsewhere are required to update their immunization records themselves online in both the Health Tracking System and MyRecords. Students should log on to MyRecords and click on ‘Access Immunization Center’ to upload their current immunization documentation.
