How to make sure my records are in VMS 
If you used your flu voucher at Walgreens, please ensure that your record is updated in the VMS. Follow the prompts to find and/or upload your proof of vaccination. A green check signifies proof of vaccination.

• You may receive a vaccination from another outside pharmacy or an external health-care location with your health insurance benefit (check with your carrier if a copay may apply).

• Remember to obtain your vaccine record printout and upload the documentation to VMS by November 15th, 2024. This applies even if the health-care location where you obtain the vaccine is in the Johns Hopkins provider network.

• A pharmacy or a doctor’s office. If you receive your vaccine at any other flu vaccine provider using insurance, be sure that you or someone on your behalf submits documentation of immunization via the Vaccine Management System.

Requirements:

• Full name must be present on vaccine documentation
• Date of Vaccination must be legible
• All pages must be present
• Documentation must be readable
• If pharmacy receipt, the vaccine must clearly be listed
