Reporting flu vaccination status is required in an effort to minimize impact of influenza on our campus community and to assist the clinical enterprise with this reporting requirement.

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==		==Policy==
	===Reporting===		===Reporting===
	UNMC, in conjunction with Nebraska Medicine, has developed an online reporting system for employees and students to report influenza vaccination statuses. ~~<br />~~		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.
	~~====Employees====~~
	~~Each influenza season employees must complete~~ the ~~reporting requirement~~. ~~To be labeled as complete,~~ employees ~~can get the vaccination at~~ one of the ~~mass~~ vaccination clinics ~~on the Omaha UNMC campus, receive the vaccine elsewhere and document receipt of vaccine in the online system, or decline the~~ vaccination ~~and answer the required questions~~ in the ~~online system. The employee will then be marked as 100% complete in the 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.
	~~====~~Students~~====~~
	The vaccination information for students who receive their vaccination ~~at UNMC Student Health or~~ at a Student Health sponsored vaccination clinic on the ~~main~~ campus will automatically be imported into the student’s PeopleSoft MyRecords Immunization Center. Those vaccinated elsewhere ~~must~~ update their immunization records themselves online ~~using~~ MyRecords. Students should log on and click on ~~Access~~ Immunization ~~Center~~ to upload their current immunization documentation.
	~~===Prevention of Illness===~~
	The University of Nebraska endorses and encourages all faculty, staff and students to adhere to the guidance of the CDC in order to minimize your risk of becoming sick with seasonal or pandemic flu. The CDC recommends four main prevention techniques
	*Get the influenza vaccination.
	*Practice good hygiene by washing hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol‐based hand cleaners are also effective.
	*Cover the mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If a tissue is not available, the cough or sneeze should be directed into a sleeve, elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth as germs spread this way.
	*Individuals who are sick with influenza-like illnesses should stay home.
	~~===If Ill===~~
	University of Nebraska faculty, staff and students are required NOT to report to work or school if they have a fever greater than 100.4° Fahrenheit (38° C), combined with one or more of the following symptoms:
	*Cough
	*Sore throat
	*Runny or stuffy nose
	*Body aches
	*Headache
	*Chills
	*Fatigue
	*Diarrhea and/or
	*Vomiting
	~~===Actions Expected of Faculty, Staff, and Students===~~
	~~Faculty, staff and students who exhibit two or more of these symptoms should take the following actions:~~
	*Notify their supervisor/professors they are ill and will not be able to work/attend classes.
	*Stay home for at least 24 hours after the fever has subsided except to get medical care (the fever should be gone without the use of a fever‐reducing medicine). The University will not require a doctor's note for faculty or staff to validate their illness or to return to work.
	*Stay isolated to keep from potentially exposing other people.
	*Seek medical advice from primary care physician or health practitioner.
	~~===Possible University Actions===~~
	Faculty, staff or students who display influenza‐like illness symptoms may be sent home. Those who display symptoms and refuse to leave after being asked to do so may be subject to disciplinary action.
	~~===Sick Leave and FMLA===~~
	Benefits-eligible faculty and staff who are ill but do not have not enough accrued sick leave will be required to use accrued vacation leave, earned compensatory time, or leave without pay for the work hours missed. Faculty and staff who have exhausted all other leave options may request a leave‐time advance of up to five days or seek to access the University's "crisis leave" benefit (see Regent Policy 3.3.12) through normal campus procedures. All procedures governing sick leave remain in effect (see Regent Bylaws 3.4.3.3 and 3.5). Faculty and staff must continue to follow normal leave notification procedures and guidelines established by their campus. Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits for eligible faculty and staff will be concurrent with authorized sick leave.
	~~==Notice of Non-Discrimination==~~
	Please see UNMC's [http://www.unmc.edu/titleix/notice-nondiscrimination.html Notice of Non-Discrimination] regarding the University of Nebraska Medical Center's commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive working and learning environment free from discrimination and harassment.
