Message for ECU Employees
As we enter respiratory virus season, it is our shared responsibility to protect ourselves and our fellow members of the East Carolina University community against the flu. ECU is offering several opportunities for students, employees and their family members to receive their annual flu vaccine this fall.
Influenza vaccination is mandatory for all credentialed healthcare personnel, CSS, DMSS, SHRA, EPS and other employees who perform duties in the healthcare environment. This applies to the Brody School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, College of Nursing, College of Allied Health Sciences, and ECU Student Health Services. Identified employees that fall under this mandate will receive an additional email notification detailing the need to comply with this requirement. Those who do not meet this requirement by the November 5, 2025, deadline may face disciplinary action. Colleges will follow with additional communication regarding expectations of their respective student learners.
More information is available below and at the ECU Comprehensive Influenza Protection Program. For additional questions, contact fluvaccine@ecu.edu. Thank you for your continued dedication to the health and safety of our campus.
