Wondering if anyone has ever worked for OccuVAX before? Is it legit?
Any other flu/vaccine clinics you know of that I might apply for? I am in Tennessee.
Thanks!

So, how has Occuvax turned out? How did you guys apply, because their website only states to forward a resume to the email address provided if one was interested in working for Occuvax?? Was anyone called for an interview? Did anyone receive a call from anyone or just the list for available clinics. Also, did you receive orientation/training? Thanks for the info!

I applied and did the online training today. I was nervous to give my ssn as well. I havent received any additional information yet. Im hoping to hear others opinions? Thanks

This was going to by my 4th season at The Vaccine Provider That Must Not Be Named (not OccuVax), but I got an e-mail last week that the vaccination schedule is "on hold." The news on their facebook page does not look good.

I just finished my first clinic with Occuvax and it was all good. Everything they promised to supply, they did and more. I forgot my sanitizer but they provided that too. I called because I had a question and they answered promptly. I will be doing as many clinics as I can for this season. As long as my money is right, which I should get next week, I will be happy.

Where do you apply to join Occuvax?
On their website. Occuvax.com, I believe. Unjust sent in a resume
I recently signed up with Summit Health. They have *a lot* of available clinics.

I have worked for OccuVax several times this year already. It's been pretty rapid fire, so I haven't gotten my first paycheck yet. I was also a little wary of how easy it was to sign up, but I have realized that they pretty much make everything as simple as possible, because they are doing everything long distance. They provide everything you need to conduct a clinic, down to the pen and hand sanitzer! They really couldn't make it any simpler. My hardest job is getting up early and checking my email on clinic e-mail day, so I can get the clinics I want. If you feel good about your skills as a new grad, and you feel comfortable working alone, because depending on the size of the clinic, you often(but not always) will. If those things work for you, then I would absolutely give it a try. It's a great way to make a little extra money for the holidays! Good luck.

I signed up for it again this year. Never did any clinics last year so I can't say anything about it. Hoping I get the opportunity to do some this year!
I signed up as well. I also signed up for Passport Health.
I'm still signed up with Summit Health.
