November 4, 2024

There is only one week before the Thursday, Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. deadline to be compliant with this year’s flu vaccination requirement and maintain employment at Texas Children’s. 

Submitting proof. Please read this section before you get your flu shot at a TCP, doctor’s office or pharmacy as you will need to submit proof of vaccination via the Employee Health virtual assistant tool, which is accessible off the network.

  • A flu vaccine receipt from a pharmacy will not be accepted as proof.
  • Please ensure the writing is legible and includes your full legal name and birth date.
