Dear Faculty, Students, and Staff,



As a reminder, the deadline to indicate your decision regarding the
COVID-19 vaccine/booster and the Flu vaccine requirement is swiftly
approaching on December 1, 2023. We kindly urge you to take action in line
with the communicated UCOP policy requirements
<https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/5000695/VaccinationProgramsPolicy>.



As per the message outlined on September 27th
<https://insideucr.ucr.edu/announcements/2023/09/27/campus-health-vaccine-policy-and-covid-19-fall-2023>,
all employees and students are required to either receive or formally
decline the COVID-19 vaccine/booster on an annual basis. Similarly,
compliance with the Seasonal Influenza (flu) vaccine requirement follows
the same process: all individuals must either receive the flu vaccine or
affirmatively decline it.



To ensure adherence to the policy, it's essential that all employees and
students access and document their decisions through the campus employee or
student  Patient Portal <https://chconline.ucr.edu/home.aspx> on or before
the impending December 1 systemwide deadline. If you need assistance,
please visit the EH&S Website <https://ehs.ucr.edu/coronavirus/dashboards>
and review the upload or declination process.



It's important to note that the policy no longer mandates that individuals
must maintain up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination status or seek a
University-approved exception. Additionally, for those not vaccinated,
there will be no requirement for "non-pharmaceutical interventions" (NPIs)
such as masking and there will be no imposition of registration holds on
student records.



We encourage each member of our campus community to take the necessary
steps to ensure compliance with these important health protocols. Your
cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for
all.



Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,



Dr. Kenneth Han
