Flu Shots
Every fall semester, all nursing students will be required to obtain a flu shot for courses containing a clinical component.
Each student must upload a copy of their flu shot to ACEMAPP by the required deadline. There are no exceptions to this mandate. If documentation is not received by the deadline, the student will not be permitted to attend clinical and will be unsuccessful in the course.
As a health care provider and future nurse, it is the student’s responsibility to provide a safe environment for patients and a flu shot provides protection for both the nurse as well as the patient.
