The University of Virginia expects all current and new employees (UVA Health System and Academic), to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

*If hired to work within the University Health System, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination or be willing to receive the vaccination.* Employees may request a medical or religious exemption from vaccination.
