Abstract: The NIH now has a mandatory vaccination requirement that affects several thousand staff. We have been providing contractors, tenants, fellows and other staff access to testing and vaccines during this pandemic. The information to be collected is needed to ensure we have the vaccination details for our staff to properly offer booster shots, and to match original shot provided (if required). This information is also critical so we can plan which vaccines we need to have on hand for booster administration to staff. We are not yet sure if the vaccines will be interchangeable. Knowing the manufacturer will allow us to plan and administer in a proactive way, ensuring compliance with EUA and medical requirements.

Emergency Justfication: The NIH now has a mandatory vaccination requirement that affects several thousand staff. We have been providing contractors, tenants, fellows and other staff access to testing and vaccines during this pandemic. The information to be collected is needed to ensure we have the vaccination details for our staff to properly offer booster shots, and to match original shot provided (if required). This information is also critical so we can plan which vaccines we need to have on hand for booster administration to staff. We are not yet sure if the vaccines will be interchangeable. Knowing the manufacturer will allow us to plan and administer in a proactive way, ensuring compliance with EUA and medical requirements. All this information will flow into our electronic health information system and become part of their OMS record, similar to the influenza program we also administer. The dates included in this form will allow us to ensure equitable scheduling in order with the timeframe in which the original vaccination was administered. The information on the boosters is that they will be due 8 months after initial dose series completion. Without this information we cannot schedule in an equitable manner for those vaccinated within the community, even if they are subject to the mandatory requirements and work on site daily. We are including a check box for medical or religious declination and an uploaded signature page, consistent with the mandatory policy mirroring the one we currently have in place for influenza.
