The health plan cards cover all health and welfare plans (medical, dental, vision, mental health, and prescription) and will be mailed to your home address.

Vaccines Delayed Due to Shortage
Sharp Rees-Stealy has informed TSRI that there is a nation-wide shortage of various vaccines and medical testing supplies due to the recent needs of the military. Therefore, they will not have any vaccines (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, tetanus, etc.) or TB testing available at the onsite clinics or at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Center Occupational Medicine Program for about six weeks. Environmental Health & Safety will let you know when the vaccines and TB testing will be available. Serum draws and titers are available as usual. Health care professionals at Sharp note that this slight delay in scheduling of the vaccine series will not be a problem for those being vaccinated. Please call the Biosafety Office at x4-8240 with any questions.
