Flu season is here and because it is important to get the vaccination as early as possible, the Occupational Health Clinic (OHC) wants to ensure it is easy and convenient. That’s why OHC designed the Peer Vaccination Program.
The Peer Vaccination Program is a convenient way for departments to increase their vaccination rates and help their team remain compliant without having to leave their work unit. Through this program, certain members of your team can register as a Peer Vaccinator and begin vaccinating their coworkers. The designated vaccinator must be a licensed nurse, pharmacist, PA, or MA under supervision of an RN. If your department has the ability and skills to provide flu vaccines to coworkers, OHC encourages you to use this program.
Not only does the program save you and your team time, but it helps you stay healthy this flu season. To find out more about this program, department eligibility, and registration information, visit the Occupational Health’s Peer Vaccinator Program website.
