On COVID-19 Vaccination:
The Nursing Assistant program currently does not require COVID-19 vaccination but is recommended. If you have had the COVID Vaccinations, please upload the CDC card or other documentation to COMPLIO. Although the vaccines and booster are not currently required, these may be subject to change based on clinical site requirement. Clinical facilities may or may/may not require COVID-19 vaccination at any given point. Since the clinical rotation part of the course is required for the completion of the Nursing Assistant program, students would need to comply with their requirements.
In COMPLIO, COVID vaccines are still required for other Health Professions programs. You will need to request an override from the program/clinical instructor if you choose to not be currently vaccinated.
