Influenza vaccination
- Influenza vaccination during influenza season
Influenza season is established each year by the CDC or the Mississippi State Department of Health and will include any additional period of time related to appearance of novel strains of influenza. An affiliated student with a medical or religious accommodation approved through the affiliated program’s influenza vaccine policy and accommodation review processes must wear an N-95 mask (provided by the affiliated student or affiliated program) at all times while on UMMC campuses. The affiliated program must document the program’s accommodation review and approval and provide it to UMMC when audited. If an affiliated program does not have an influenza vaccine policy with a process for accommodation review and approval, the affiliated student must be vaccinated to participate in the UMMC affiliated student placement.
