Johns Hopkins 2026-2027 Influenza Vaccination Campaign
Each respiratory virus season, Johns Hopkins requires covered individuals to receive the annual flu vaccine or receive an approved exception per the Johns Hopkins Medicine Influenza Vaccination Policy and the Johns Hopkins University influenza Vaccination Policy.
What's New:
- myOccHealth Portal replaces VMS: Employees will use myOccHealth to submit flu vaccination records, request exceptions, access flu vouchers, check their compliance status, and view their Occupational Health immunization records.
Before accessing the new portal:
- Review the myOccHealth How-to Guides
- When ready, open myOccHealth
- New Onsite Vaccination Vendor: VaxPro will be replacing Walgreens for Johns Hopkins onsite flu clinics. Scheduling a vaccine appointment at an onsite clinic is easy.
- New Flu Compliance Dashboards: Flu compliance reporting is now available through the Power BI flu reporting dashboard. The dashboards now use data from Cority rather than VMS.
- Managers can select MyTeam from the left-hand navigation to view the compliance status of their direct reports.
- Individuals with designated flu compliance responsibilities will see additional dashboards based on their access.
Important Deadlines:
Friday, October 30, 2026: Submit an exception request
Friday, November 20, 2026: Receive your flu vaccine or have an approved exception
