Good afternoon,

MICA's Employee Vaccination Policy requires all employees who have a regular on-campus work schedule including those with defined telework agreements to receive an FDA-approved influenza vaccination, unless a reasonable accommodation has been granted. Employees are required to submit written documentation attesting to their proof of the influenza vaccination by Monday, October 25, 2021. Vaccines must be administered on or after August 2021.

Proof of vaccination can be submitted by upload in Workday. Instructions for uploading proof of vaccination is attached and video instructions can be found here.

You may request a medical or religious exemption to the influenza vaccination requirement by submitting the Vaccination Exemption Request form by Monday, October 25, 2021.

MICA’s Annual Flu Shot Clinic

MICA will hold the annual Flu Shot Clinic for Faculty and Staff on campus. The flu shots are covered at 100% through your MICA-sponsored CareFirst medical plan. As a current employee, if you do not have health insurance through MICA, the cost of your flu shot will be covered by MICA if administered at the annual MICA Flu Clinic.

Thursday, October 14, 2021

• Location 1: Brown Center, Leidy Atrium from 9:00 AM – 12 noon.
• Location 2: Lazarus Center Auditorium (North Avenue) from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

Wednesday, October 20, 2021

• Location: Brown Center, Leidy Atrium from 09:00 AM – 12 noon.

Required documents:

• Valid Faculty/Staff MICA ID card.
• CareFirst health insurance card (if applicable).
• Health insurance card from a non-MICA health insurance plan (if applicable).

Non-MICA health insurance plans must cover flu shots at 100% in order to be accepted. Safeway staff cannot process payments for health insurance plans that require a co-pay.

If you do not have the required documents, Safeway staff will not be able to administer the vaccine.

If you are an employee NOT covered under a health insurance plan, MICA will cover the cost of your flu vaccine at no cost to you. You must show your MICA ID in order to have this cost covered by MICA.

Action required: RSVP

In order to ensure that Safeway has an adequate number of flu vaccinations available, please RSVP here. Walk-ins are welcome, however, please ensure that you have the required documents listed above.

If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Diggs at ldiggs@mica.edu.
