If you have insurance, you must bring your insurance card. (Uninsured staff will have their vaccines fully covered at these fairs.)

  • Each staff member is responsible for providing the vaccination record to their own care provider or one of Erie’s hospital partners.
  • Staff who do not take the Vaccination Record will have to reach out directly to Walgreens to retrieve a proof of vaccine administration document which needs to include:
    • your name and date of birth
    • the vaccine name and lot #
    • who administered your vaccine
    • the date your vaccine was administered

Vaccine Facts

  • Flu vaccines cannot give you the flu. Flu vaccines are made with either inactivated (killed) virus or with a single protein from the flu virus.
  • I need the flu shot every year.
    The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. Flu viruses change constantly, so the vaccine is reviewed each year and updated as needed, based on which flu viruses are making people sick.
  • We all need a flu vaccine!
    The flu shot is an Erie requirement and serves as another layer of protection from respiratory illness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the best way to protect yourself, friends and family, and our patients from the flu – which typically kills 12,000-60,000 people a year in the US.
  • Flu and COVID-19 vaccines can be taken at the same time
