Updated September 3, 2021<\/p>\n

As you know, the University is instituting a\u00a0COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all faculty and staff<\/a>\u00a0effective September 27, 2021. Additionally, New York State recently passed a mandate for health care workers, which covers many of our University\u2019s employees.<\/p>\n

The full details of the University\u2019s requirement are now available through\u00a0the COVID-19 Healthcare Provider Vaccination Policy (#164)<\/a>\u00a0which applies to those individuals at URMC covered by the state mandate, and the COVID-19 Vaccine Policy (#165)<\/a> for all other employees, including additional clarity for employees looking to request an exemption.<\/p>\n

As previously stated, the medical exemptions align with FDA\/CDC vaccine contraindications (severe, life threatening allergic reactions). Additionally, we have clarified that University employees may apply for a religious exemption, including those who are covered under the New York state mandate. An online exemption request form will be available\u00a0at this link<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday September 7, 2021.<\/p>\n

To learn more about the University\u2019s vaccine requirement,\u00a0visit these FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For questions not covered in the FAQs or for other concerns, please contact your manager or your\u00a0Human Resources Business Partner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more than 18 months our University has grappled with this pandemic, and while stressful at times, it also has been gratifying to see our faculty and staff pulling together to address this unprecedented challenge. It\u2019s our hope that we all can continue in this spirit as we work toward fulfilling this requirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
