*UC finalizes COVID-19 Vaccination Program Policy*
After an extensive consultation period UC’s final policy regarding required
COVID-19 vaccinations <https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/5000695/SARS-Cov-2> has
been approved. For the safety and well-being of the entire university
community, the policy will require, with few exceptions, that all students,
academic employees and staff be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus on or
before *August 15, 2021*.

-     The policy allows for limited exceptions to COVID-19 vaccination
based on a Medical Exemption, Disability Accommodation, or Religious
Objection; pregnant individuals may also request a deferral if they wish
for the duration of the pregnancy. Contact Dave Ritz (daritz at ucanr.edu) for
further information.

-     The policy states that employees who choose not to be vaccinated, and
have no approved exemption, accommodation or deferral, potentially put
others’ health at risk and may face disciplinary actions.

*Uploading employee COVID vaccination verification*
If you have not already, please upload proof of vaccination by completing
this short *COVID-19 Vaccine Tracking Status Survey
<https://ucanr.edu/portal/covid_vaccination_status_disclosure.cfm>.*
Information
gathered in this survey will only be used by designated Human Resources and
Risk Management officials for tracking, reporting, and determining
workplace safety procedures as policy or law requires.

*More information coming*
UC is expecting to follow up with additional information on the
implementation shortly. We know many of you will have questions, or may
wish to discuss your individual situations further. Please review the
Systemwide
- Frequently Asked Questions

and
contact Dave Ritz (daritz at ucanr.edu) with any questions you may have.

Thank you for helping to keep our community healthy.
