随著COVID-19疫苗普及，超过1.2亿美国居民至少已施打第一剂疫苗。为确保社区健康和安全，The George Washington University要求今年秋季到校的学生及教职员工皆须接种FDA或是WHO认可的COVID-19疫苗 。

参加完全线上教学的学生或是在家工作的教职员工将不需要接种疫苗。

学校也要求学生及教职员工须在到校前两周完成最后一剂疫苗施打。国际学生若无法在抵达美国以前完成接种疫苗，则需进行隔离及检测，直到完成施打疫苗。

** Please note that the information below has been updated as of May 3, 2021. GW will accept any vaccine authorized for use by either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). The current FDA-authorized vaccines are available online. Authorized-WHO vaccines are listed here.**

To the George Washington University Community:

We continue to be encouraged by the progress we make each day toward a post-pandemic university, country, and world. As COVID-19 vaccine distribution expands, more than 120 million U.S. residents have received at least one dose, and we expect the availability of vaccines to increase, allowing everyone age 16 and above the opportunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccine this spring or summer.

Given these developments and to further support the health and safety of our community, after consultation with student, faculty, and staff leadership we will require students, faculty, and staff who are in person this fall to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to being on campus. 

The following guidance will apply to this new requirement:

l   Any vaccine authorized for use in the U.S. will be accepted.

l   Current students, faculty, and staff should upload their vaccination card to the medical portal.  Instructions for this process are available here.

l   We will grant limited exemptions, such as for medical or religious reasons. We will provide more guidance on the exemption process in the coming weeks.

l   All GW community members who come to campus are required to be vaccinated. Students who are online-only and faculty and staff approved to work 100 percent remotely will not be required to have received the vaccine.

l   We will exercise discretion in enforcing the mandate for those who have extenuating circumstances that are beyond their control and that will cause delays in vaccination.

We strongly encourage everyone to receive the vaccine at their earliest opportunity. As more students, faculty, and staff transition back to campus, having our entire population vaccinated is essential to keeping our community healthy and safe. Information about local vaccine resources is available on our COVID-19 vaccine webpage.

We remain optimistic about the coming months, and we are excited to take more positive steps that prioritize health and safety as well as focus on flexibility and an engaging on-campus experience this fall.

Stay safe and stay well.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. LeBlanc, President
