As we continue the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, we strongly encourage all UF Health Shands staff to get the COVID-19 vaccine for their own protection, as well as the protection of our patients and staff, their friends and family, and the community. There are still opportunities for staff to get vaccinated. Check the Vaccinations Schedule on the Emerging Issues Bridge site for the latest information.

While most of you who chose to receive the COVID-19 vaccine scheduled your appointment at the hospital, we know some of you received it outside the system or plan to do so. If you fall into this latter category, we are asking for your help. Please submit proof of your COVID-19 vaccination to UF Health Shands Occupational Health Services as soon as possible.

We use a similar process during our annual flu vaccination campaign and are simply trying to get an accurate number of our employees who chose to get vaccinated.

Thank you to everyone who has taken this important step in our fight to end this pandemic.
