We consider the $(2+1)$ flavor Polyakov Quark Meson Model and study theeffect of including fermion vacuum fluctuations on the thermodynamics and phasediagram. The resulting model predictions are compared to the recent QCD latticesimulations by the HotQCD and Wuppertal-Budapest collaborations. The variationof the thermodynamic quantities across the phase transition region becomessmoother. This results in better agreement with the lattice data. Depending onthe value of the mass of the sigma meson, including the vacuum term results ineither pushing the critical end point into higher values of the chemicalpotential or excluding the possibility of a critical end point altogether.
