Good morning,
The flu vaccination is now available for all Montefiore School of Nursing students. This week’s schedule is attached. You may either get the vaccine at New Rochelle or Mount Vernon. The schedules are updated on a weekly basis. Please note that the vaccinations are also available during the evening at Mount Vernon on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
The decision to decline the flu vaccine is up to you, but, if you decide not to get the flu shot, New York State law requires you to wear a mask around patients once the New York State Commissioner of Health declares that flu is prevalent in our area. If you decline you must still go to the vaccine RN and fill out a form so he or she can input it into the system. If you received the vaccine elsewhere you also must go to the vaccine RN and submit the form given to you when you received the vaccine.
Once you are vaccinated, you will receive a green “I got my shot” tag to be worn on your ID badge to indicate that you did your part to protect the health and well-being of yourself, your family and our patients.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Dr. Greer
