UC COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement

COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements (which include an opt-out/declination option).

To support the health and well-being of our campus and the community, an updated revision of the University of California Vaccine Program Policy was issued on June 26, 2024, strongly recommending that all members of the University community follow vaccine recommendations adopted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) applicable to their age, medical condition, and other relevant indications.

The 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine is now available. Receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine is safe and can restore protection against infections and severe disease.

To comply with the Flu and COVID-19 Vaccine Policy by November 1, 2024, all students, faculty and staff need to take one of these actions: 

  • Get the 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine and log those records into eTang Medical Clearance section. 

OR 

  • Submit a declination for the vaccine on eTang.  Submit one for each vaccine you are opting out of.

To submit a COVID-19  Vaccine Declination / Exemption:

  • Log in to eTang and go to the Medical Clearances section, scroll to the bottom, and select "Request an Exemption".

  • Select the COVID-19 vaccine and hit continue, then select the reason from the drop-down menu to submit a declination.

If you need assistance with the compliance process, please contact us.
