Get Your Flu Shot

VNSNY is committed to keeping you healthy and safe, especially during flu season and COVID-19. That is why all staff are now required to be vaccinated against the flu — or, if you choose not to get a flu shot, you must sign a declination form.

Already got your flu shot and want to submit your flu documentation? Click here for information on how and where to send.

Here are the flu immunization regulations from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH): “During the influenza season, all healthcare and residential facilities and agencies shall ensure that all personnel not vaccinated against influenza for the current influenza season wear a surgical or procedure mask while in areas where patients or residents may be present.” 

Help us meet this goal and continue to put our patients, clients, colleagues, family and friends first. Bring the care, not the flu! Get vaccinated!
