Dear students,
At this time, we would like to make you aware that the Northwell Health Clinical Advisory Committee and Northwell Health Executive Leadership have determined that the COVID-19 vaccination will be required for all students and faculty who are assigned to any/all Northwell Health facilities, regardless of direct patient care status, effective July 15, 2021. We have been offering and will continue to offer the opportunity for students and faculty to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at Northwell Health. Any student who is scheduled for a clinical rotation or learning activity after July 14, 2021 either at CLI, Bioskills, the Zucker School of Medicine, or any Northwell Health facility, and have not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine and would like to receive the vaccine at Northwell Health, please email COVIDvaccineEHS@northwell.edu. In order for our EHS team to assist with the COVID-19 vaccine appointment scheduling portal, please identify yourself as a Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies student when contacting them.
Please note our Northwell Health team members will ask students or faculty to provide proof of vaccination (CDC card, New York State Excelsior Pass, etc.) upon entering a Northwell Health facility to ensure this requirement is being adhered to. Failure to produce a proof of vaccination will result in dismissal from the Northwell Health facility until vaccination proof can be provided. We look forward to seeing all of our students in the fall semester. Sincerely,
Dean Gallo
