Exemptions

If you have already received an exemption from the Influenza vaccine during the Covid-19 exemption request process, you do not need to request exemption again.  If you are unsure which vaccination your exemption was approved for, check your approval letter.  If you did not request exemption from the Influenza vaccine as part of your exemption request for Covid-19, you will need to complete either the medical or religious exemption request form below and submit it to vacexemptrequest@sjhmc.org for review. Our panel of medical and pastoral care professionals will review your request and provide a response within 10 calendar days.

If you have any questions, please contact Employee Health at 973-754-2265.
