Update 9\/16<\/span>
\nOn September 14, a federal district court judge in New York State temporarily blocked enforcement of the portion of New York\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers<\/a> that excluded religious exemption as the basis for a reasonable accommodation. Read the announcement to learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Original message posted August 23, 2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n

UR Medicine leadership participated in a call last week with New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) representatives to gain a better understanding of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo last Monday<\/a>. At this time, the Medical Center\u2019s understanding is that the mandate will apply to everyone who works within a licensed health care facility. This means that all faculty, staff, and students who work or study in a patient care facility (inpatient, outpatient, and procedure areas) will be required to receive a first dose of the vaccine by the state\u2019s September 27 deadline; testing is no longer an available option per NYSDOH. It also appears that the state will approve limited criteria for medical or religious exemptions.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear how the mandate may apply to those who have job duties at our off-site business locations, along with our academic and research areas. However, the University\u2019s previously announced plan to require testing for unvaccinated employees<\/a> continues for those outside of the NYSDOH health-care worker vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n

Read the full update<\/a> that Medical Center leadership shared with faculty, staff, and students last week.
