Effective 4/10/2024
Effective April 10, 2024, UConn Health discontinued its COVID-19 vaccination requirement for Workforce Members. While staying current with vaccines is recommended, Workforce Members are no longer required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. However, UConn Health continues to require all Workforce Members to report their COVID-19 vaccination status, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not.
In order to meet federal reporting requirements, all new and existing UConn Health employees, volunteers, medical staff members, and any individual receiving a UConn Health-issued badge (“Workforce Members”) are required, regardless of vaccination status, to report their COVID-19 vaccine status upon request.
Please note that this policy is subject to change based on new data and on evolving federal and state guidance.
New workforce members are required to report their COVID-19 vaccination status before starting work at UConn Health as a condition of employment.
Current workforce members may be required to periodically report their status upon request by UConn Health, whether or not they’ve chosen to receive or decline the vaccine.
Documenting Your Compliance With the Reporting Requirement
- UConn Health Employees must register their vaccine status and information in the UConn Health Employee Vaccine Registry.
- Other Workforce Members, including non-employees such as badged contractors/vendors, students, residents, and volunteers, must register their vaccine status in the Non-Employee Vaccine Registry.
