Policy

Johns Hopkins Medicine & Johns Hopkins University

According to the new Mandatory Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Policy (HSE048) everyone must receive the influenza vaccine or possess an approved qualified exception as defined by the above policy. The vaccine is provided free to all physicians, faculty and staff members, other personnel, students and volunteers.

Note that these requirements do not apply to employees of The Johns Hopkins University (other than the school of medicine) who are 100% remote (those who never visit a Johns Hopkins facility or conduct business in any public setting on Johns Hopkins’ behalf). However, all employees are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated.

Vendors must show proof of having received the influenza vaccine before conducting business or working within a Johns Hopkins building.

As defined by the above policy, everyone who has not received the influenza vaccine must wear a mask within 6 feet of a patient during the flu season (Nov. 18, 2022 to May 15, 2023).
