<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Students,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Multiple NC large medical facilities announced their decisions to require COVID-19 vaccination for all employees by mid-September. These requirements carryover to students for students engaged in clinical participation. Atrium Health,
Wake Forest-Baptist, Cone Health, UNC and Novant have all announced their new requirements for the vaccination of all employees. UNC has already notified me that all students must be
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">fully vaccinated</span> by September 20<sup>th</sup> in order to attend their scheduled clinicals. This includes not only main UNC hospital, but their outpatient centers and associated hospitals under their
management system such as Johnston Health, Rex, Lenoir, Nash, Wayne and Chatham. The complete list is available at
<a href="https://www.unchealthcare.org/hospitals-clinics/">https://www.unchealthcare.org/hospitals-clinics/</a>. I anticipate receiving similar messages from the SCCEs at the other hospital systems listed above about student requirements for the vaccination
in the next week or two. This trend is not limited to North Carolina Hospitals. It is expanding nationally in response to low vaccination rates and the significant increase in the Delta variant.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So what does this mean for you? <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">We have been encouraging voluntary vaccinations since they became available to health care providers. Campbell University is not requiring the vaccination, but if a student is assigned
to a facility where it is required and is not vaccinated, your inability to participate will likely result in delayed graduation.
<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2">Dean Adams sent an email to all students on April 13<sup>th</sup> stating “Failure to adhere to recommended vaccinations and the associated timeframes for completion may prevent the
student from participating in the required clinical experiences. Programs cannot guarantee that alternate sites will be available to meet course objectives. Thus, the potential for a delayed graduation must be recognized by the student.”<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2">“In addition, we anticipate clinical sites will be requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for all health professions students in the near future, due to the risks associated with the disease
and the increased availability of the vaccine. Therefore, CPHS is strongly recommending that all health professions students receive this vaccine as soon as possible.”<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you are assigned to a UNC hospital system clinic/facility for DPT 804 and you are
<b>not yet vaccinated</b>, you need to initiate the process this week during your break.
<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">If you choose not to become vaccinated and are assigned to one of these UNC clinics, you must notify me by this Friday, July 30<sup>th</sup>, of your decision to decline vaccination.
<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="square">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level3 lfo1"><b>Understand declining the vaccination will result in the decision to cancel your clinical.
<o:p></o:p></b></li></ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Proof of vaccination will be required in Exxat with notification to Mrs. Shewmaker and myself of completion for processing your records to their coordinator.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you are assigned to any of the other hospital systems listed above for DPT 804, you should expect a similar requirement to be vaccinated soon.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you are attending a hospital or SNF anywhere in the US, you should anticipate this requirement may expand to your assignment soon.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
