COVID-19 VACCINATION CONFIRMATION FORM 

 

COVID-19 is an extremely contagious and deadly disease and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the most effective way to prevent severe illness or death is to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine. Vaccines are safe, free, and widely available. For more information visit https://www.vaccines.gov/

Students who submit partial COVID vaccination records by the deadline must upload proof of full COVID vaccination by September 30, 2021 and may be required to participate in weekly COVID-19 testing or until fully vaccinated (two weeks after second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or after first dose of Johnson and Johnson).
