Vaccine Sign-up

The university is still evaluating President Biden’s Executive Order 14042 which applies to federal contractors and is working with the Board of Regents to determine applicability. At this time, the university is making their vaccination verification and accommodation/exemption systems available to all campus employees on a voluntary basis.

Yes, if the vaccine record you provide now confirms you’ve met the definition of being fully vaccinated, you will already be in compliance if and when the university requires employees to be vaccinated.

As of August 31, 2021, WHO has listed the following COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use:

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines (e.g., COMIRNATY, Tozinameran)

AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccines (e.g., Covishield, Vaxzevria)

Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine

Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine

Sinovac-CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine 

If you participated in a US-based clinical trial and are documented to have received the full series of an “active” COVID-19 vaccine candidate, and vaccine efficacy has been independently confirmed, you are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after completing the vaccine series. (Currently Novavax COVID-19 vaccine meets these criteria.) Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC 

To be fully vaccinated, you must receive a complete series of COVID-19 vaccine(s) that are FDA or WHO authorized and approved. The safety and effectiveness of a mixed-product series have not been evaluated. COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs for Healthcare Professionals | CDC

You are considered fully vaccinated 14 days after your second dose (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech), or single dose (Johnson & Johnson). If you haven’t yet received a vaccine, please familiarize yourself with the time required to complete your vaccination sequence.

An accommodation/exemption due to a disability, including medical conditions, may be requested by submitting a medical accommodation/exemption request through the Panther Health Survey.

If you have a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance (including any non-theistic moral or ethical belief, observance or practice which is sincerely held with the strength of a religious view) that conflicts with participating in the program, an accommodation/exemption may be requested by submitting the religious accommodation/exemption request through the Panther Health Survey.

Information and documents related to your COVID-19 vaccination will only be visible to you, Student Health Clinic records staff and Human Resource Services staff as necessary for processing.

Employee vaccination records are confidential medical records and will be kept confidential as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

If you need to miss work time in order to receive the COVID-19 vaccine off campus, you may use your available sick leave (medical appointment) or, in the absence of available sick leave, vacation or comp time accrued. You may also be able to work with your supervisor to make up the missed time within the same work week. 

No, you should not be inquiring of an individual’s vaccination or possible exemption.
