<p><span style="font-size:110%"><strong>UC finalizes COVID-19 Vaccination Program Policy</strong></span> <br><span style="font-size:110%">After an extensive consultation period UC’s <span style="color:#003399"><a style="color:#003399" href="https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/5000695/SARS-Cov-2" rel="noopener" target="_blank">final policy regarding required COVID-19 vaccinations</a></span> 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 <strong>August 15, 2021</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:110%">- 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 (<span style="color:#003399"><a style="color:#003399" href="mailto:daritz@ucanr.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">daritz@ucanr.edu</a></span>) for further information. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:110%">- 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:110%"><strong>Uploading employee COVID vaccination verification</strong></span> <br><span style="font-size:110%">If you have not already, please upload proof of vaccination by completing this short <strong><u><a href="https://ucanr.edu/portal/covid_vaccination_status_disclosure.cfm" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="color:#003399">COVID-19 Vaccin</span>e <span style="color:#003399">Tracking Status Survey</span></a>.</u></strong> 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:110%"><strong>More information coming</strong></span> <br><span style="font-size:110%">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.
