COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination Policy

See topics forCOVID-19 Information for Employees

Effective 6/3/2022

As announced on August 18, 2021, all UConn Health employees, volunteers, medical staff members, and badged contractors (“Workforce Members”) are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. This requirement applies to Workforce Members regardless of whether they work on-site or remotely, unless the individual qualifies for an exemption or a deferral as provided by the policy and procedures.

All new UConn Health Workforce Members are also expected to be in compliance with this policy before reporting to work at UConn Health.

Workforce Members are required to receive a primary vaccine series, and staying up-to-date with booster shots is strongly recommended but not mandated at this time. Please note that this policy is subject to change based on new data and on evolving federal and state guidance.

Documenting Your Compliance With the Vaccine Requirement

UConn Health employees and other Workforce Members must upload proof of their compliance with the Mandatory Vaccination Policy.

  • 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 and information in the Non-Employee Vaccine Registry.

For help uploading, review the instructions on how to upload your vaccine card using a home computer or a networked UConn Health computer.

Exemption Request Forms

Note: Workforce Members who are not employees should submit vaccine exemption requests to their employers or UConn Health hosts.

Information on Exemption and Deferral Types

This is a reminder that UConn Health is only granting exemption requests on the basis of a sincerely-held religious belief or medical reason. Please review the UConn Health Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Procedures for more examples and guidance on types of requests that will be considered.

If you have any additional questions, contact VAXquestion@uchc.edu. If you need IT assistance in uploading your forms, call 860-679-4400.

Non-Employee Workforce Members

All UConn Health workforce members including non-employees such as badged contractors, learners, students, residents, and volunteers must be vaccinated for COVID-19 with the primary series vaccination. Staying up-to-date with COVID-19 boosters when eligible is also strongly recommended.

To ensure your compliance with our policy and federal CDC reporting needs:

  1. Visit the online badged Non-Employee Vaccine Registry to enter your vaccine status.
    Note: To access the website, you must be logged into the UConn Health network.
  2. Enter the required information into the online registry including:
    • The first 5 digits on the back of your UConn Health ID badge
    • Your role at UConn Health
    • Your COVID-19 vaccine information (including manufacturer and doses)
    • Your COVID-19 booster information.
  3. Revisit the registry to update your status as needed, or if vaccine requirements change.

Being fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 is the most effective means of preventing the most serious impacts of this virus, and controls infection and subsequent transmission to our patients and fellow employees. Thank you, as always, for your commitment to health and safety and for your support of these important requirements.
