To: Human Resources Advisory Group
Dear Colleagues:
Recently the UC President, in consultation with UC Health leadership, issued a systemwide executive order
requiring all members of the UC community to receive an influenza immunization by Nov. 1, 2020.
As a follow up to the executive order requiring flu vaccinations, the UC Office of the President has developed an FAQ for employees.
To ensure employees are well-informed regarding the Influenza Vaccine Order, please share this information within your organization. Additional information for UCLA will be distributed as it becomes available.
In addition, UC has learned that an outside market research firm, Consumer Evaluation & Insights, sent a survey about UC’s flu vaccination policy to a number of UC faculty and staff with the subject line: “Share your opinion on the UC Flu Vaccine requirement.”
Please be aware this survey was not authorized or commissioned by UC, and employees are under no obligation to complete it.
Because the data from the survey is being collected by an external organization, UC cannot make any assurances regarding the use, privacy or security of the information gathered. If you receive questions about the survey from employees, please let them know they are not required to participate in it, as it’s not sanctioned by UC.
Sincerely,
Lubbe Levin
Associate Vice Chancellor

I was not a public comment person with the Regents. But I think this goes way beyond "anti-vaxx" People are not happy with the UC ordering this. I'm vaccinated and get the flu shoot every year, but oppose this overreach by the UC. Additionally this is not something that was proposed as a change to the PPSM for unrep staff. I don't know if they discussed with the unions. There is no reason for an emergency order. There is no flu emergency. There is a COVID emergency, but no flu emergency. Forcing people to get the flu shot exposes people to getting COVID when they visit doctors offices and pharmacies. Also, media is pointing out that their may be another shortage of flu shots this year. Most staff and students aren't even on campus untol 2021 at the earliest. So there isn't even an urgent need. UC should encourage the flu shot, but not force it. This special order is a precursor to forcing COVID vaccines. The COVID vaccines in dev (and are being rushed way to fast) are very different to most other vaccines and carry a higher risk.
