[Biomed_all] Deadline today: Reminder to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination booster

[biomedsci]

Sent on behalf of Dr. Monica Carson

Dear Biomed Colleagues,

This is a friendly but urgent reminder.

Please note that today is the deadline to upload your verification of proof of Covid 19 vaccination including a booster shot or to have an approved exemption from UC on record in the UC system.

Please see earlier communication from campus below.  In brief, I highlight that you need to submit your verification via a unique link sent to you from mychart (see details below).  Using the link sent to your UCR email, you must set up a mychart account and verify your vaccinations.  I note this process does take several minutes. In my case, I also had to manually upload information about my third vaccination (using info from my vaccination card) and a photo of my CDC covid19 vaccination card.

If you have already completed these steps, wonderful! If not, it is essential that you do so today. UCR will be sending notices of non-compliance for those who haven’t done so.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any problems completing any of these steps, please contact  COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu<mailto:COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu>.

Monica Carson

Dear Campus Community,

We write today to remind you to upload your proof of COVID-19 vaccination including booster dose to your MyChart account by February 25, 2022.

As previously communicated<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__insideucr.ucr.edu_announcements_2022_01_19_submitting-2Dproof-2Dcovid-2D19-2Dbooster-2Dnew-2Demployee-2Dhealth-2Dsystem&d=DwMGaQ&c=LsLxleeqPm1pgCNn-PN_bQ&r=odoLShzbRqmy31Pgm-vkoGRUD3ZZZqBORJZiEk192HI&m=46lfYv8j3PnBDWje6sCu9_g1qJk7G0etbzTuLi9Nmmia9v6MNE7n6GAGHecwZeOw&s=YDt--MvvPKsUB_V8qJnsyPrUIUw002n-_WI4AhPE4sw&e=>, all students and employees are required to be fully vaccinated, which includes receiving booster doses as stipulated in the UC vaccine mandate<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__policy.ucop.edu_doc_5000695_SARS-2DCoV-2D2-5FCovid-2D19&d=DwMGaQ&c=LsLxleeqPm1pgCNn-PN_bQ&r=odoLShzbRqmy31Pgm-vkoGRUD3ZZZqBORJZiEk192HI&m=46lfYv8j3PnBDWje6sCu9_g1qJk7G0etbzTuLi9Nmmia9v6MNE7n6GAGHecwZeOw&s=OvLSi8YRakcuRVvH1jJN9qDcobkrHpACPwcjHCAWf-s&e=>, or to have an approved exemption.

Vaccination records for UCR employees will be stored in the new HIPAA-secure Epic electronic medical records system (also called MyChart), which is managed in partnership between UC San Diego Health and UCR Health. Please make sure to upload information about all doses including boosters.


If you have not previously used MyChart, you should have received in late January an email with an activation link from MyChart at healthmychart.org<mailto:MyChart at healthmychart.org>. If you cannot find the email, please contact COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu<mailto:COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu> for a new activation link. Only use the activation link to create your MyChart account. Do not attempt to use your Social Security number to register.



If you are having trouble using MyChart, please follow the instructions<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__studentdocs.ucr.edu_campus-2Dreturn_UCR-5FEmployee-5FInstructions-5Ffor-5FUploading-2520COVID19-2520Vaccine-2520Information.pdf&d=DwMGaQ&c=LsLxleeqPm1pgCNn-PN_bQ&r=odoLShzbRqmy31Pgm-vkoGRUD3ZZZqBORJZiEk192HI&m=46lfYv8j3PnBDWje6sCu9_g1qJk7G0etbzTuLi9Nmmia9v6MNE7n6GAGHecwZeOw&s=0qZcSQxuiS8f_VON_3kPxLISOwUuuSeER-tQ93m9pH8&e=> closely. If you continue having difficulty, please contact COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu<mailto:COVID19 at medsch.ucr.edu> for assistance.



After February 25, UCR will begin reviewing MyChart to verify compliance with UC vaccine policy for all employees who have not requested an exemption or deferral. Notices of Non-Compliance will be sent after that time.


Thank you for doing your part to keep our campus community safe.

Stay healthy,

Elizabeth Watkins
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor

Gerry Bomotti
Vice Chancellor for Planning, Budget, & Administration
