Here are the flu immunization regulations from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH): “During the influenza season, all healthcare and residential facilities and agencies shall ensure that all personnel not vaccinated against influenza for the current influenza season wear a surgical or procedure mask while in areas where patients or residents may be present.”

Help us meet this goal and continue to put our patients, clients, colleagues, family, and friends first. Bring the care, not the flu! Get vaccinated!

Please be sure to send us a copy of your vaccination documentation. Submit your documentation by:

• Mail to VNS Health Personal Care Health Services, 5 Penn Plaza, 12th Floor, New York, New York, 10001
• Fax to 212-290-3184
• Email to [email protected]

Tips for submitting documentation by email:

• Use your phone to take a picture of the hardcopy 
  • Submit the picture as the attachment to the email
  • Please double check that the picture is legible once it’s attached to the email
  • If it’s not legible, take the picture again in a brightly lit area, making sure the documentation is lying flat on a surface
  • Choose “large” or “actual size” if prompted by phone
• Using a scanner, scan the hardcopy documentation, and then attach the scan to the email
• Print e-documentation to PDF and then attach the PDF to the email

2) Visit your doctor, health care provider or urgent care center (most insurers will cover flu vaccinations from a care provider at no cost, but you should check with your insurance company to be sure). When at your doctor or health care provider, remember to ask for your flu documentation as proof of your vaccination for your Human Resources record.

If you choose not to receive a flu vaccination, you need to fill out an Influenza Declination Form. The Declination Form can be found here.
