Information for employees new to ARUP (new hire)

  • Employees new to ARUP are required to complete a blood draw at the clinic lab within two weeks of their start date. The results of the blood draw determine which vaccines the new employee requires to meet ARUP regulatory requirements.
  • After completing the blood draw, employees make a follow-up appointment at the clinic to review results of their blood draw and receive any necessary vaccines.
  • For questions or concerns, please call the clinic at 801-584-5144, option 1. 

ARUP is committed to safely vaccinating every employee. Vaccines protect the health of the ARUP population and prevent the spread of potentially harmful diseases. This goal is also strongly supported by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)  Please see www.cdc.gov for more information. The clinic administers vaccines free of charge.

Employees transferring departments
