About Us
The Occupational Health Program is located at Fannin Tower (Suite 2000). We provide health services and information to Baylor College of Medicine employees and learners. A few of our services are available to the public such as flu vaccinations. View a listing of our services below:
Flu Vaccines
Update as of September 15, 2026: The Occupational Health Program provides flu vaccinations at no cost for Baylor College of Medicine students, residents, staff and faculty. You can also receive a flu vaccine from your doctor, local clinic, or pharmacy. Whether you receive the vaccine through OHP or elsewhere, BCM persons will need to complete an attestation by November 30, 2026.
High-dose (HD) vaccine is for those over 65 years of age. Based on availability, we do provide the HD vaccine at our Flu clinics. If you are 65 and older, you can also receive the HD vaccine at the OHP clinic without an appointment.
- How: You must schedule an appointment; scheduling is done through OHP’s Flu App. Walk-in appointments will be available later in the season. Currently, there are only a few events available for scheduling. We will continue adding events throughout the flu season as we confirm dates and locations.
- When: End of September through November. View available dates in the Flu App.
- Where: Flu Clinics will be offered across several Baylor and affiliate locations (Main Baylor, McNair Campus, Jamail, CNRC and Ben Taub).
Using the Flu Scheduling App
- Access the Flu App.
- You must log in with your ECA/BCM username and password. If you are not on campus, you must use BCM multi-factor authentication. Find more information here.
- You should only schedule ONE slot at a time. Do not reserve multiple slots. New dates and times are added throughout the flu season.
- The high-dose (HD) vaccine is for those over 65 years of age. However, there will be a limited supply on-hand at the Flu clinics. Therefore, HD vaccines may not always be available at your selected time slot. You also have the option of walking into our Occupational Health Clinic to receive the HD vaccine during business hours.
Flu Attestation Policy
- Complete your Attestation here by November 30, 2026.
- Do not send your flu vaccination documentation directly to OHP.
- Keep documentation of your flu vaccination, especially if you received it externally. Most hospitals and clinical facilities will require proof of flu vaccination.
- Baylor requires faculty, staff, and students to receive and attest to their flu vaccination by November 30, 2026.

Information for Houston Students
Information for Temple Students
Incoming residents and fellows should submit their immunization records through MedHub. See Immunization Records Information for Incoming Residents and Fellows for details.
Exposure to blood and body fluids, due to needlesticks and splashes, represents real hazards to healthcare workers.
OHP performs health evaluations for all new employees at Baylor College of Medicine, as well as for trainees who continue at Baylor as staff or faculty.
The Baylor College of Medicine Occupational Health Program requires all international visitors and observers to be in compliance with certain immunization requirements.
Fit Test Scheduling and Training
Fit testing is done by the Office of Environmental Safety (OES). Fit testing is done annually. At the conclusion of a successful fit test, you will receive a laminated card listing your approved N95 respirator(s) manufacturer, model and size for your reference.
Medical Clearance
Medical clearance is required from the BCM Occupational Health Program (OHP) prior to N95 or other respirator fit testing. This only needs to be completed once, not annually.
You may have already completed your medical clearance, and if so, it does not need repeating. To see if you have, you can log in to check. Logging in requires your BCM credentials and may also require a VPN connection. If you have trouble logging into either system, please contact the IT Help Desk at 713-798-8737.
If you’ve been with BCM since April 2025, log in to https://www.bcm.edu/MyOHP. The Respirator Medical Evaluation is available in the Required Immunizations and Forms section from the home screen. It will show “Compliant” if it has been completed and reviewed.
If you’ve been with BCM prior to April 2025, log in to our Legacy system (OHPIS) instead. You’ll be able to see a complete service history of your records. If you see an entry labeled “Questionnaire-Resp.-TB,” then medical clearance is complete.
For questions about the medical clearance, contact OHP at occhealth@bcm.edu.
