    Hello
    How about shift workers who are not on while flu shot clinics are open.. Is there any other way to get the shot while at work.
    Thank you

      The staff flu clinics are at varied times, and range from 6:30am to 6:30pm. The idea behind the scheduling was that night shift staff can get a vaccine before they go home in the morning and day shift staff can get one during the day or before they start work. Also, afternoon shift can go before they start their shift or during their shift at dinner time.
      Our clinics run longer than last year and the partner pharmacies are holding long clinics but not on weekends. Staff can go into the drugstore to get a vaccine however on weekends.
      Staff may also get a flu shot on site if there is a nurse immunizer (ask your manager).
      You may also get immunized where the public gets immunized – at doctor’s offices, walk-in clinics, or pharmacies.
