FAQ

Why are you requiring booster shots?

The Delta College Board of Trustees has approved a requirement that all employees receive a booster shot or an approved exemption. The Centers for Disease Control says that COVID-19 vaccines are working well to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death, but that the effectiveness of the vaccine does wane over time. That's why the booster is important to improve our protection and keep us safe at Delta.

What is the deadline to comply?

There are several key dates spelled out in recently approved MOUs with bargaining groups:

May 31, 2022: Employees who choose not to get the booster or apply for a medical or religious exemption will be encouraged to retire or resign as of May 31.
June 1, 2022: If an employee has not received the booster vaccination or applied for a medical or religious exemption by June 1, the employee will be issued a warning letter.
June 30, 2022: Deadline for employees who were issued warning letters to provide booster vaccination information and/or an exemption request.

What if I am not eligible for a booster vaccination by May 31, 2022?

On December 14, 2021, The Board of Trustees mandated that all employees must have received the Covid Booster by March 18, 2022 or at the time in which six months has passed since completing a primary COVID-19 vaccination series or two months after completing a single-dose vaccination, whichever is later. The COVID-19 Booster shot or an approved exemption is required for all employees.

What if I already uploaded proof of my booster shot using the old form?

No further action is required. Thank you for completing the process.

Why are you changing this process now?

Delta College is partnering with Healthy Returns to implement a more automated process that should be faster and more efficient. This is the same process being used at many other colleges and universities across the country.

I already have an approved exemption. Do I need to apply again?

No, You do not need a new exemption if you already have an approved exemption for the original vaccination requirement.

What if I am an employee AND a student?

You will need to complete the process using ONLY your Employee ID and employee email (@ deltacollege.edu).
