COVID-19 Testing Exemption for Vaccinated Students and Employees – Spring 2021

Students and employees who are required to participate in mandatory COVID-19 testing are eligible to receive an exemption two weeks after receiving their second/final dose of the vaccine.

To receive this exemption, you must submit documentation of full COVID-19 vaccination. The exemption applies for the Spring 2021 semester.

UPLOAD VACCINE DOCUMENT<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08ccb7727189893dd866ada9a8eaafb4262c3091493fb20b60f91100e37cb6e46604b87cf25c4398516f0225ab233688784976b72cbdc5b7d107>

  *   Once you have received your second/final dose, upload your vaccine document<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc53d4591b8e6373972b335cbe38fbb7c6e3bf326d6145eb1ece541be1aaa92f7fbe1d24fd145bc2546e8402e10d98f7609e3586c2af5dad7b> to the secure, HIPAA-compliant Campus Health system.
  *   A green icon with the letters VX will appear on your Wildcat OneStop<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc3885bc9293aa1f5588aac846fba5517f54f33b019ac0d7dd7429403b4efe13ba9bd70f70a81b1d12e7650180b2bf3d4349a354933cec3d4b> page two weeks after the date of your second/final dose or when your vaccine documentation is verified, whichever is later. This green VX icon indicates that you are exempt from mandatory testing for the Spring 2021 semester.
  *   You must adhere to mandatory testing requirements until the green VX icon displays on your Wildcat OneStop<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc3885bc9293aa1f5588aac846fba5517f54f33b019ac0d7dd7429403b4efe13ba9bd70f70a81b1d12e7650180b2bf3d4349a354933cec3d4b> page.
Note: If you received both doses of your vaccine at Campus Health, you do not need to provide this documentation.

In clinical studies, the COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of symptomatic infections by 90-98% in vaccinated individuals, compared with unvaccinated individuals. Based on these numbers, some risk for infection does remain. Given the very high community transmission rates in Pima County and Arizona and the possibility of encountering coronavirus variants, you should remain cautious and continue to wear a mask, maintain physical distancing, and wash your hands frequently.

You are always welcome to test on campus after your exemption, and if you believe you were exposed to COVID-19, we encourage you to get tested at any of the University testing sites<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc4997cde8aa1cc041a642dae3d070ec31fd712ee81252980153b2ff21b4b153002f2dc24a4727bf66f13e15ccd70ab6ed409a6ef7ade33c81>. If you experience COVID-19 symptoms, please contact Campus Health<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc0ac6fdbc7870129e3cdf05a2854c66a4da37f0b61c6d865533b829b85d704e13e1955aa1b4703e97d5120d1c3b94150310150ed48ef69e59> or your health care provider.

The vaccine is not currently mandatory for students or employees.

All University of Arizona students, employees, and DCCs, regardless of testing exemption status, must complete their Wildcat WellCheck<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=8e174e89785f08cc427ff35b1ac6dc4082d43d65b96e1297158e331cdae83890c90dcbf4025cd2da3e867e6b11d31d3465d40ff6d1d80e4ccf214f294209e73d> every day they plan to be on-site at any University location.
