Seasonal Flu Immunization Information

Flu vaccine administered at Mass General Brigham Occupational Health Flu Vaccine Clinics or Mass General Brigham Occupational Health

If you were vaccinated by MGB Occupational Health Services (OHS) during a flu clinic, your vaccination will be automatically entered in WorkWell for you. Students also need to upload flu shot documentation to Exxat (or Complio) to be compliant with the University. You are encouraged to bring this form to any Mass General Brigham flu shot clinic to be completed by the nurse administering the shot. 

Flu vaccine administered at a Mass General Brigham Provider

If you were vaccinated by a Mass General Brigham provider, you will need to go into WorkWell to document your consent for your flu vaccination information to be provided to the OHS.  

Visit your WorkWell Flu Card to upload proof of vaccination or to consent for WorkWell to pull your flu data from EPIC.

Flu vaccine administered by provider outside Mass General Brigham, including a retail pharmacy

If you were vaccinated by a provider outside of Mass General Brigham, including a retail pharmacy such as CVS, you will need to submit proof of vaccination to Occupational Health Services.  

Visit your WorkWell Flu Card to upload proof of vaccination.

Students’ flu vaccination records must be accepted by Mass General Brigham Occupational Health and uploaded to Exxat (or Complio). 

If you are requesting an exemption, please follow the guidance below. All exemption requests must be submitted by Friday, October 16, 2026. 

If your exemption request is approved, you will need to visit your WorkWell dashboard to submit a declination for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulation. The declination form states that you have received information about the risks and benefits of the influenza vaccine, including the Seasonal Flu Vaccine Basics from the CDC and understand that the vaccine is available free of charge.
