[Update 02/08] Occupational Health Services has scheduled its final H1N1 flu vaccination clinics next week, primarily for employees' dependent children who require a second dose of the vaccine. Please bring documentation of the child’s first dose so that the vaccinators can verify the date of administration. The first clinic will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Occupational Health office located at 98 N. Broadway in East Baltimore. The second will be held on Thursday, Feb. 18, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Green Spring Station Pavilion II conference room at 10753 Falls Rd. in Lutherville, Md. Directions to Green Spring Station are available at http://tinyurl.com/jhgss-direx.
The federal Centers for Disease Control recommends that children younger than 10 years of age receive two doses of H1N1 vaccine at least 21 days apart. Eligible employees or eligible employees’ spouses or same-sex domestic partners can also receive H1N1 vaccination at these two clinics. The employee must accompany family members at the time of vaccination; bring your university identification.
H1N1 vaccination is free. Eligible are full-time university employees and their spouses, same-sex domestic partners and dependent children. Also eligible are part-time employees for whom the university is the primary employer and their spouses, same-sex domestic partners and dependent children. If you have questions, please contact Occupational Health Services at 410-955-6211 (the East Baltimore office) or 410-516-0450 (the Homewood office).
[Update 01/13] Will you be protected against the next potential wave of H1N1 influenza? H1N1 vaccinations are available for Hopkins employees, dependent children, and spouses or same-sex domestic partners at several Johns Hopkins Community Physician sites. To check dates and times click here.
[Update 12/29] The Office of Emergency Management and Occupational Health Services are planning two additional H1N1 vaccination clinics for Hopkins Hospital, University and Health System Corporation employees and their eligible spouses, same-sex domestic partners and dependent children. The first clinic will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 30, from 1 to 8 p.m. in the first-floor conference room at Johns Hopkins at Green Spring Station, Pavilion II, 10753 Falls Rd. in Lutherville.
The second clinic is planned for Saturday, Jan. 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Johns Hopkins at White Marsh, 4924 Campbell Blvd., second-floor conference room. The H1N1 vaccination is free. Employees who have patient contact must provide documentation that they have received the seasonal flu vaccine. The employee must accompany the family member at the time of vaccination and bring his or her employee ID badge. If your child is getting the second dose of H1N1 vaccine, please provide documentation to describe when the first dose was actually given. If you have any questions, please contact Occupational Health Services at 410-955-6211 (East Baltimore office) or 410-516-0450 (Homewood office).
[Update 12/17] The Johns Hopkins Hospital will begin offering free H1N1 vaccinations for dependent children of Hopkins Hospital, Health System Corporation and School of Medicine faculty and staff on Thursday, Dec. 17, and Friday, Dec. 18, from 1 to 6 p.m. in the JHH Marburg Conference Room, and on Saturday, Dec. 19, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Johns Hopkins@Greenspring, 10753 Falls Rd., Pavillion II, in the Coffee Bar Conference Room. All children ages 9 and under will require two doses of the vaccine. If your child has already received his or her first shot and this is the second shot, we will require that you bring proof that at least 28 days have passed since the first vaccination.
[Update 12/11] The H1N1 vaccine continues to be administered to all JHH, JHU SoM and JHHS corporate employees. Beginning Monday, December 14 through Friday, December 18 we will begin to administer the vaccine to all spouses and same-sex domestic partners of the JHH, JHU SoM and JHHS corporate eligible employees. Vaccination administration will take place at the Broadway Corridor across from the Cobblestone Café from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The spouse or same-sex domestic partner must accompany the employee at the time of administration.
For those employees who received the H1N1 vaccine, but did not receive a “red clip” indicating they have received the vaccine, red clips will be administered by presenting to the Broadway Corridor, across from the Cobblestone Café beginning 12/14 through 12/18/00. After December 18, all vaccine and “red clip” distribution will take place either at Phipps 351 or at the Church Professional Building, 98 North Broadway/Suite 421, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
We also will be offering H1N1 vaccine to the dependent children of eligible employees. Logistics for administration of the vaccine will be announced soon. Continue to check JH Medicine for additional information.
Though the current wave of H1N1 appears to have peaked in Maryland, public health experts strongly advise you to get vaccinated. Why? First, there are still more flu cases than usual for this time of year. Second, the illness is still spreading, though more slowly, and some patients are still getting seriously ill. Third, getting as many Johns Hopkins employees as possible vaccinated now will help to protect our community in case of a new wave of infection in the months to come.
[Update 12/08] The H1N1 vaccine is available to employees of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Tuesday, Dec. 8 through Friday, Dec. 11, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Broadway corridor. Employees receiving the H1N1 vaccine will also need to be vaccinated for seasonal influenza if they have not already done so. The seasonal flu vaccine is also available on Dec. 8 through 11, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Broadway corridor.
[Update 12/02] If you meet the tier 2 requirements, vaccinations are available at the Homewood campus office of Occupational Health Services, in Room W-601 of the Wyman Park Building, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on business days. (The Homewood office will also administer vaccine against seasonal flu during the same hours, while supplies last.)
[Updated 12/01] With H1N1 influenza vaccine now more plentiful, we have taken another step along the priority tiers described in the Johns Hopkins vaccination priority plan. Vaccine against H1N1 flu is now available to anyone in tier 2 of the plan. We will make a further announcement when we go to tier 3. At that point, vaccination will be open to all full-time and eligible part-time employees of any age.
[Updated 11/18] OHS has received the new supply of the Seasonal Flu Vaccine as of 11/18/09. The Seasonal Flu Vaccine is open to all employees of JHU/JHMI/JHHS while supply lasts at the Broadway Corridor at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm on 11/18-11/20/09 and 11/23-11/25/09.

Johns Hopkins Medicine
Everyone who has direct patient contact must receive the influenza vaccine or complete the online influenza questionnaire form. The vaccine is provided free to all staff, students, volunteers and personnel who work in the hospital.
Everyone with direct patient contact or working in clinical areas who has not received the influenza vaccine by Dec. 20 must wear a mask within 3 feet of a patient. Vaccinated staff will receive a yellow ID badge clip. After Dec. 20, those who do not have a yellow ID badge clip will be required to wear a mask.
Hospital policy (http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/heic/policies/pdf/IFC022RespVirus.pdf) states that staff members with a fever must stay home. Personnel who have respiratory symptoms but no fever can work, but they must wear a surgical mask. Anyone who becomes ill at work must go to Occupational Health Services or the Emergency Department and must be cleared by Occupational Health Services before returning to work.
