Will all new employees be required to be vaccinated before they start work?

Vaccination is not required for employees, contractors, students or visitors. However, employees participating in clinicals, externships, internships, or other programs at off-campus locations are subject to the requirements of the off-campus site and may be required to provide proof of vaccination. We still encourage everyone to submit your vaccination proof but this is not required.
