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 (e.g., those providing essential
services to the NIH via use agreements, visiting scientists,
fellows and contractors, food service providers, and our three
separate childcare providers) to comply with Executive Order 14042,
Executive Order 14043, and U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) policy to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for
patient-facing health care staff. This revision request includes
two new forms as NIH is implementing a building entry protocol
where all people, federal government employees, contractors,
patients, and visitors, will walk up to a door and scan a QR code
with their phone and answer questions about Covid exposure every
day.
