Flu activity continues to grow across Texas with numerous cases being reported every day. As a result, Texas Children’s continues to see increases in patient and employee visits due to flu-like symptoms, and we expect that trend to continue in the weeks ahead. Although we have made some progress on our flu vaccination efforts over these last few weeks, we are still aiming to achieve our goal of a greater than 90% participation rate.
- Flu Vaccination Progress: As of January 4, 77.5% of our employees are vaccinated.
- To receive a flu vaccine on-site at any of our three hospital locations, you may walk-in to the Employee Health Clinic Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Employees may now schedule their flu vaccine at a TCP location across Houston, Austin, and College Station. To learn more, click here.

- All employees – including community partners in Austin, Central Texas and those working remotely – are covered for a flu shot at 100% through Texas Children’s medical plans when administered by an in-network pharmacy.
