On August 2, the University of Rochester announced a requirement for employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to frequent regular COVID testing and stricter safety protocols, including daily symptom tracking and masking indoors.
To implement this requirement and to manage public health at our University, all faculty and staff, including those who are working in a hybrid model or remotely, are required to report their vaccination status by Monday, August 16, by completing the online COVID Vaccine Participation Form. The University has already begun efforts to collect this information from students returning to campus, as well as Medical Center faculty and staff.
