COVID-19疫苗接种

If you have been within 6 feet for 15 minutes—cumulatively—or been exposed to respiratory secretions of a person with COVID-19:

• 学生 who are fully vaccinated who have been a 关闭 contact with a positive case but do 不 have symptoms are 不 directed to quarantine but are required to get tested 3-5 days after exposure and mask and monitor symptoms for 14 days.
• 学生 who are who are 不 fully vaccinated (those partially vaccinated and/or those who have an approved religious or medical accommodation) who have been a 关闭 contact with a positive case will be required to quarantine for up to 14 days after last contact as determined by health care professional and guidelines from health officials, 并且应该咨询他们的初级保健提供者.

Rates of COVID-19 infection and transmission are high among college-aged individuals related to the way young adults live and socialize. Infections cause illness and result in quarantine and isolation which can adversely impact mental health. Vaccination provides an important barrier against many new and more dangerous forms (variants) of COVID-19. 通过要求接种疫苗, OD真人官方网站将大幅减少校园爆发疫情的可能性, 同时也营造了一个蓬勃发展的校园氛围.

学生 who are taking courses off campus are required to submit their vaccination information. 学生 enrolled in online courses are 不 required to fill out an exemption waiver if they are 不 vaccinated at this time. 即便如此, Immaculata strongly encourages that members of our community receive vaccination for the health and safety of themselves and those around them.

根据疾病控制和预防中心的数据, 个人被认为已完全接种疫苗.

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
• 单剂后2周，如约翰逊 & 约翰逊/ Janseen疫苗
• 如果不符合这些要求, 不管你的年龄, you are NOT fully vaccinated and should take all safety precautions until you are fully vaccinated.

学生 who are 不 vaccinated or have 不 received an exemption will 不 be able to attend class. Immaculata大学将不提供COVID-19学习住宿, 学生 are expected to attend class in the format as listed In their course schedule.

Will requesting a medical or religious exemption impact my ability to complete clinicals, 学生教学, 实习或其他体验式学习要求?

如果你获得了豁免, you will be able to participate in classes and other activities on our campuses, 只要你遵守所有安全规定.  然而, any exemption from the University’s vaccine requirement may impact your ability to participate in clinicals, 学生教学, 实习, 等.

许多医院和其他临床场所, as well as other area employers have already announced that they are requiring the vaccine.  OD真人官方网站无法控制接种地点的疫苗需求.  Although we will try to place 学生 with an exemption in a site location where the vaccine is 不 required, OD真人官方网站不能保证这将是可能的.

In addition, it is best practice to put 学生 at different sites throughout their program.  We may 不 be able to find enough sites that do 不 require the vaccine to accommodate you, which could limit your ability to complete degree requirements and potentially delay your time to graduation.

If I don’t get the vaccine, can I complete my clinical requirements via virtual simulation?
No. Unless the University must move to fully remote learning based on the spread of the virus or based on state or local requirements, OD真人官方网站将不提供虚拟模拟.

对于需要放弃临床课程的学生，退款政策是什么?
该大学的 退款和学分政策在这里. 如果你选择不接种疫苗，不能被安置在临床场所, you must drop your course(s) by the stated deadlines or you will be responsible for tuition charges, 详见OD真人官方网站的退款和学分政策.

If I drop my clinical course(s), will I be able to take it in a future semester?
Not completing your clinical requirements as scheduled will very likely delay your time to graduation.

Outbreaks among 学生 have been shown to lead to outbreaks in surrounding communities, 包括弱势群体的死亡. COVID-19 presents one of the greatest disease threats we have seen in any of our lifetimes, and we have decided that requiring the COVID-19 vaccine is in the best interest of our campus community.
