Immediate action needed regarding WFU immunization Compliance

The following message was sent to students who have not met the deadline for our immunization requirements, urging them that their classes (and housing, if applicable) are in danger of being canceled.

———————-

This is an urgent message from University offices involved with immunization compliance. 

Bottom Line, Up Front:

• Your classes will be canceled on or about September 20 because you have not complied with University and/or N.C. immunization requirements.
• To avoid class cancellation, you must come into compliance immediately. 
  • Log in to the Student Health Portal and go to My Profile / Immun. History.  At the bottom of the screen, you will see “Non-Compliant” listed next to any vaccine(s) you need to receive.
  •  If you need a COVID-19 vaccine or booster, you must secure one off campus and upload your vaccine documentation immediately
  • For all other vaccines besides COVID-19, call the Student Health Service at 336-758-5218 today to make your vaccine appointment.
• If you live in University housing, it will also be canceled on September 20 unless you come into vaccine compliance.

Dear student,

University records indicate that you have not complied with all of the University’s and/or North Carolina’s immunization requirements, so on or about September 20, your Fall 2022 classes will be canceled. You will also be removed from University housing (if applicable).

If you wish to remain enrolled, please find out why you are non-compliant by logging in to the Student Health Portal and going to My Profile / Immun. History.  At the bottom of the screen, you will see the vaccine(s) for which you are non-compliant. See the example below:

COVID-19 vaccines and boosters

If you need a COVID-19 vaccine or booster, you must secure one off campus. Wake Forest cannot administer COVID-19 vaccines.

• Contact local pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc.), the Forsyth County Health Department, or other providers in Winston-Salem to make your vaccine appointment (search on zip code 27109 or 27106).
• The Hanes Mall, Target, and River Birch shuttle stops near CVS Robinhood Road and Target on University Parkway.
• Note that you must receive an mRNA vaccine or booster, which is Pfizer or Moderna only.

• Upload your vaccine documentation immediately after your vaccine appointment.

All other vaccines

For all other vaccines besides COVID-19, call the Student Health Service at 336-758-5218 today to make your vaccine(s) appointment.

• • Note your appointment day and time. You must show up for your appointment as scheduled or else your class schedule will be in jeopardy of being canceled.

• The Student Health Service will update your immunization record; you will not have to upload vaccine documentation for these vaccines.

Already have your vaccination?

If you had previously gotten your vaccine(s) and thought you had uploaded them to the Student Health Portal:

• • Check your Secure Messages within the Student Health Portal to see if your documentation had missing information.

• If there are no secure messages, your original documentation was not received and you will need to upload your vaccine documentation again.

If you do not understand which vaccines are required of you, call the Student Health Service at 336-758-5218 and ask to speak to someone about your vaccine status.

We do not wish to cancel your enrollment. To avoid that, you must take action to come into compliance immediately.
