Dear 91心頭 community,
As a follow-up to last weeks油message from Chancellor Haefner and Provost Clark, I wanted to share how we will implement the vaccination油principles and procedures we have developed.
Specifically, I invite all 91心頭 personnel, including student workers,油to complete a brief survey within PioneerWeb that will help us understand how to best support vaccine prioritization for 91心頭 personnel within the framework of the states油, which may change over time. 91心頭 will use the information you provide to generate employer verification letters to support seeking vaccination at the health care provider of your choice. 91心頭 has submitted information to enroll as a vaccine provider, but 91心頭 is油稼看岳油霞艶岳油an approved vaccine provider.
If 91心頭 becomes an approved vaccine distribution site, this information will also help us to prioritize our vaccination distribution process on campus.油According to current state prioritization, most members of the public, ages 16-59, will be eligible for vaccination in Phase 3.油永鉛艶温壊艶油油for most current information on prioritization. In the meantime, to help us effectively implement prioritization, we ask that all 91心頭 personnel visit the vaccine portal by logging into PioneerWeb and selecting COVID-19 Vaccination Portal on the Home tab. Here you may verify or update your personal information and offer additional information through a brief, voluntary survey. For example, the survey will ask if you have already been vaccinated, whether you are interested in priority vaccination, if you would like to disclose a medical condition that may affect your priority status, whether the listed information is correct regarding teaching in person in winter or spring, and whether your phase of access is accurate.
It is currently unclear whether higher education will be included in phase late 1b/1c. If it is, in-person teaching for winter and spring and essential in-person staff will be considered for prioritization. For each question, you will be able to indicate油yes/no/prefer not to answer. 91心頭 will keep your personal health information private and will not share such information other than those directly involved in implementing the prioritization protocols.
As individuals complete the survey, we will review the information provided and make employer eligibility verification letters available as appropriate. If you are interested in vaccination, we strongly encourage you to discuss your vaccination options directly with your health care provider. Please note that you are油not油required to get the vaccine through your own medical provider. Enrolled vaccine providers cannot exclude individuals who are eligible for vaccination solely based on a lack of affiliation with the health care provider. Please visit the油油for more information about the states vaccination plan and vaccination locations. If you have additional questions or concerns, please direct them to油COVIDcoordinator@du.edu.
Thank you for doing your part to keep yourself and the 91心頭 community safe. Vaccination is one important tool, and to stop the spread we all need to keep wearing masks, social distancing and practicing good hand hygiene. These practices have worked well for us so far and will continue to help protect the health and safety of the 91心頭 community as we move through the winter and spring months.
