Vaccinated Employees Can Avoid Testing When On Campus

From an email in circulation:

Dear Bruin,

The CDC and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health have published interim public health recommendations for fully vaccinated people.  Based on current recommendations, vaccinated individuals may refrain from routine testing.  

If you have completed the COVID-19 vaccination process—defined as being at least 14 days since the second or final dose of the vaccine—you are no longer required to test at the UCLA community screening sites.

Beginning Tuesday, June 1, please bring proof of vaccination and your Bruin ID to either the Collins Court or Switzer Plaza testing site.  Once verified, you will swipe your Bruin Card on a designated iPad kiosk for removal from the list of those who are required to test.  

Please note:

1. You may continue to test, though it will not be required.
2. If you develop symptoms consistent with COVID, please contact your medical provider prior to coming to a testing site.
3. Continue to follow campus masking and distancing mandates, regardless of vaccine status.
4. NOTE: Your vaccination record will not be stored and personal health information will not be recorded.  
5. NOTE: This process relates only to the testing requirement—any future request for vaccine verification related to a campus vaccine mandate is a separate, unrelated process.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to COVID-19 recovery on campus.
