On Jan. 13, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court approved for the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) federal vaccine mandate to move forward. This means, healthcare institutions are reinstating their vaccination and/or exemption policies.

Please note:

• The providers have reserved the right to limit the number of unvaccinated individuals participating in clinical programs, even if the individuals have HACC’s approval for bona fide religious or medical exemptions to the vaccine.
• The College cannot guarantee that unvaccinated individuals will be able to continue participating through the end of the clinical program.
• If you are able and have not yet done so, we strongly recommend that you get vaccinated.
• Providers continue to require HACC to provide vaccine status information on all those participating in clinical programs.
• If you have not already uploaded your vaccination card or approved religious or medical exemption letter from HACC to CastleBranch, or followed your program’s protocol for the collection of this information, please do so immediately.
• If your vaccine status changes, please update the College by uploading your vaccination card to CastleBranch or following your program's protocol for the collection of this information.

Thank you for your continued patience with this process. We will continue to keep you informed.

If you have questions regarding the above, please email vacexemptions@hacc.edu.

Please continue to check the “List of Off-Campus Clinical Facilities and COVID-19 Immunization Requirements” drop-down menu for the most up-to-date list of sites and their requirements.

On Nov. 23, 2021, HACC notified students and employees that beginning Dec. 6, 2021, the healthcare institutions where health career students are to be placed for clinicals are requiring all participating students and employees to have the COVID-19 vaccine or to have HACC’s approval for a bona fide religious or medical exemption. The requirement stemmed from a Center for Medicare Services (CMS) emergency regulation passed by the federal government. To comply with this requirement, the College informed students and employees of the healthcare institutions' requirements. All decisions have been made regarding the exemption requests, and those who had requested an exemption were notified on Dec. 3 with decisions.

On Nov. 30, 2021, a federal judge issued a ruling temporarily blocking the CMS vaccine regulation. Because of this temporary block, some of HACC’s clinical partners have “paused” their COVID-19 vaccine requirements. For the full list of those who have paused their requirements, please see the “List of Off-Campus Clinical Facilities and COVID-19 Immunization Requirements” drop-down menu on this webpage.

Therefore, all students attending a clinical location or affiliated site that has paused their requirements can participate in clinical programs, regardless of vaccine status.

Please note:

• This pause is temporary and may be reinstated at any time.
• The providers have reserved the right to limit the number of unvaccinated individuals participating in clinical programs, even if the individuals have HACC’s approval for bona fide religious or medical exemptions to the vaccine.
• The College cannot guarantee that unvaccinated individuals will be able to continue participating through the end of the clinical program.
• If you are able and have not yet done so, we strongly recommend that you get vaccinated.
• Providers continue to require HACC to provide vaccine status information on all those participating in clinical programs.
• If you have not already uploaded your vaccination card or approved religious or medical exemption letter from HACC to CastleBranch, or followed your program’s protocol for the collection of this information, please do so by Dec.10.
• If your vaccine status changes, please update the College by uploading your vaccination card to CastleBranch or following your program's protocol for the collection of this information.

Thank you for your continued patience with this process. We will continue to keep you informed.

If you have questions regarding the above, please email vacexemptions@hacc.edu.

Current Frequently Asked Questions

• Will HACC be requiring COVID-19 vaccination?
  HACC does not require students or employees to be vaccinated at this time. Some HACC off-campus clinical facilities are requiring the vaccine. HACC students and employees are guests at these facilities; therefore, they are required to adhere to facilities, federal and CDC guidelines.
  
  As this pandemic response evolves, decisions will be made based on state and federal legislation.
   
• If I do not get vaccinated or am declined an exemption, what are my choices?
  If a credit student does not get vaccinated, they can transfer earned credits to a new program at HACC. Please connect with a HACC advisor to learn more.
  
  If a noncredit student does not get vaccinated, they can request a refund.
  
  If an employee does not get vaccinated or are declined an exemption, their teaching assignments and continued employment with the College may be affected.
   
• How do I provide my COVID-19 vaccination status?
  Each program will assure students have a clear understanding of how to submit the information. Each program uses a repository that stores information in a manner that assures confidentiality. All program requirements for immunizations, clearances and physical exams are managed using these repositories.

This following information is outdated. Please take NO action with it.

All programs in the HACC School of Health Sciences and noncredit health career programs require immunizations in accordance with state and federal laws as well as in compliance with the state boards that oversee our programs. These align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for healthcare workers. As members of a community who provide care to the most vulnerable populations, it is our duty as good stewards not to spread disease. All programs have permitted declination of immunization (in accordance with federal and state law) for medical or religious reasons, as educational institutions are not permitted to discriminate. All 50 states allow exemption for medical reasons, 47 states permit exemption for religious reasons and 17 states permit declination for personal reasons.

Required immunizations include annual TB testing, documentation of measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, tetanus, diphtheria pertussis, annual flu and hepatitis B vaccinations. In the absence of vaccination records, titers showing immunity for these immunizations are required. There have been no changes to these requirements by HACC.

With the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, some of our clinical sites are updating their requirements for COVID-19 vaccination. HACC must also follow the requirements of our clinical sites with regard to immunization requirements. It is the decision of the clinical sites, not HACC, if immunizations are required for our students.

Effective for the fall 2021 and spring 2022 semesters :

• Some clinical facility partners will (a) not permit students to participate in clinical experiences at any of their facilities without the COVID-19 vaccination or (b) require information on the percentage of COVID-19 vaccinated students.
• There are several major facility partners that are also refusing to accept declinations for the standard immunizations listed above.
• As per the policy of clinical facility partners, “students are not employees and have neither employee benefits nor access through employee health services at the facility, therefore, accommodations for declination of vaccination will not be honored.”
• This new requirement has been imposed by the clinical facility partners. As guests of each facility, HACC clinical programs must abide by the rules of the facility. HACC is not imposing this policy.
• Students in health career programs will be required to submit information regarding their vaccination status for the summer and fall 2021 spring 2022 semesters.
• Advisors will notify students prior to applying to a health career program, as a declination may impact and limit their choice of campus and program of study.

Outdated Frequently Asked Questions

• If I decline to receive the standard vaccinations for medical, religious or personal reasons, what happens if I am unable to be placed in a clinical site?
  Because of limited resources, HACC cannot guarantee clinical placement IF a clinical site requires the COVID-19 vaccination.
   
• Will HACC be requiring COVID-19 vaccination?
  At the present time, this is not a requirement. As this pandemic response evolves, decisions will be made based on state and federal legislation.
   
• If I decline to receive a COVID vaccination for medical, religious or personal reasons, what will happen if I am unable to be placed at a clinical site?
  Presently, there are a number of institutions that are requiring vaccination. Clinical sites are not currently accepting declinations. Students who remain unvaccinated will not have an opportunity to return to programs because we do not anticipate that clinical locations will remove the COVID 19 vaccination in the future. We anticipate that this will be an added vaccination along with the flu and other currently required vaccinations.
   
• How might this impact my choice of campus?
  Some campuses use these clinical sites with restrictions exclusively. Allotted clinical hours are approved by the state boards for each program and accreditation agencies. If there is no other site to complete the required clinical hours, students will need to choose a campus that has alternative sites. For some of our programs, there will be very limited options. Students should check with their advisor before making a program or campus selection.
   
• I am interested in the Nurse Aide, Phlebotomy Technician or Medical Assistant/CCMA non-credit programs. Who do I contact if I have any questions with regard to COVID-19 vaccination?
  Students can email nchealth@hacc.edu or call 717-221-1352. They will be directed to the appropriate staff to discuss their questions.
   
• How do I provide my COVID-19 vaccination status?
  Each program will assure students have a clear understanding of how to submit the information. Each program uses a repository that stores information in a manner that assures confidentiality. All program requirements for immunizations, clearances, and physical exams are managed using these repositories.
