The annual flu season is fast approaching, and the NIH Clinic is once again offering free flu vaccinations to all staff. As part of the “Foil the Flu” campaign, the 2025 Vaccination Schedule provides multiple opportunities for NIH employees to get vaccinated conveniently at the Main Campus, Building 10 CRC, 7th Floor Atrium (East Side).
Why Get Vaccinated?
Staff who care for patients play a critical role in preventing the spread of influenza within the NIH community. Getting vaccinated not only protects your own health but also safeguards vulnerable patients from potentially serious complications. The Medical Executive Committee approved a policy in 2008 for NIH workers with patient contact to be vaccinated against influenza or decline (form).
Location: Main Campus, Building 10 CRC, 7th Floor Atrium, East Side
Who qualifies: Free for NIH staff; NIH ID badge required
