An enterprise-wide goal of 90 percent has been set for vaccination receipt. This includes UNMC, Nebraska Medicine and Clarkson College.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of us associated with Nebraska Medicine &#8212; students, doctors, nurses, volunteers, administrators, and support personnel &#8212; have an obligation to provide a safe environment for patients,&#8221; said Mark Rupp, M.D., UNMC professor of internal medicine-infectious disease and medical director, infection control &amp; epidemiology at Nebraska Medicine. &#8220;One way to do your part to protect patients is to get a flu shot. The influenza vaccine is the best tool we have to prevent the flu.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S3iEkj-zmoU&amp;feature=youtu.be\">View Julie&#8217;s story<\/a><\/b>  <\/p>\n<p>A variety of venues are available to receive the vaccine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clinics beginning  Oct. 22 &#8212; view the full schedule <a href=\"http:\/\/newintranet.nebraskamed.com\/Vaccine\/Information\/Dates.aspx\">here<\/a>.\n<li>Clinic and inpatient units.
