Experts do not yet know how long you are protected from reinfection following COVID-19. The most effective way to reduce your risk is to get vaccinated.

People who have had COVID-19 can be vaccinated once they have recovered from their illness and have met the criteria for discontinuing isolation. This guidance also applies to people who get COVID-19 before getting their second dose of vaccine.

If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Who should complete this form and when?

This form collects COVID-19 vaccine information and is intended for all U-M students who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. If you have been partially vaccinated (i.e., received only 1 dose in a 2 dose series), please wait to complete this form until you have received all vaccine doses.

How will the information be used?

Your COVID-19 vaccination information will be used to protect our community in many ways including waived or reduced testing and quarantine requirements, social distancing needs, public health informed housing decisions, and administrative planning.

What happens after I submit my vaccination information?

Once you submit the form, vaccine information will be validated within 5 days. If you are expecting an exemption from mandatory testing you must be fully vaccinated. To be considered fully vaccinated you must have received all doses of the vaccine at least 2 weeks ago. Once your vaccine information has been validated and enough time has passed for you to be considered fully vaccinated, the exemption will be automatically granted. If you are expecting a quarantine waiver associated with an exposure to COVID-19, you must be fully vaccinated. Please be sure that the Contact Tracing Corps knows that you have submitted this form so that they can expedite the validation process.

My vaccination information submission has been rejected, what should I do?

Some of the common reasons a submission is rejected include: no name on the vaccination card, vaccination card was not legible, the lot number entered on the form did not match the lot number on the vaccination card, or the vaccination card image did not upload properly. 

Please resubmit your vaccination information in Wolverine Access via the reporting tool, or contact the Campus COVID-19 Call Center 734-936-7000. Call Center hours are Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The University of Michigan Campus Health Response Committee recognizes the COVID-19 vaccines approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Act (including those approved under Emergency Use Authorization) for exemptions from COVID-19 related policies, such as mandatory testing/quarantine requirements. Currently, the vaccines approved through the Emergency Use Authorization process are the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, and the single dose Johnson & Johnson/Janssen. Other vaccines will be added to this list as FDA authorizes new products.

Michigan Medicine administers 100 percent of the vaccine doses allocated to it by the state. The health system has the capacity to deliver up to 20,000 with enough supply.

Yes, U-M is home to world-class researchers and a longstanding dedicated team committed to community outreach. Research and efforts on education around vaccine hesitancy are too numerous to individually list but are growing from teams across Michigan Medicine, our School of Public Health, Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research, School of Social Work, and beyond.

No. Michigan Medicine administers 100% of the doses they receive. If appointments are missed, and it appears doses will be available that need to be used by the end of the day, Michigan Medicine draws from a standing waitlist of people who have already received a vaccination invitation. Michigan Medicine also has vaccinated staff and volunteers at the vaccination clinic to ensure no doses are wasted.

While the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory at this time, it is highly recommended that all eligible individuals consider receiving the vaccination as the opportunity to do so becomes available. We will continue to share additional safety and efficacy data to help build awareness and understanding, and support informed individual decision-making.

Vaccination is free for faculty, staff and students age 16 and above. Health insurance is not required, but if you have insurance, please bring your card to your appointment. There are no out-of-pocket costs to you.

Second dose appointments do not have to be scheduled at the same location as the first dose. Second-dose-only appointments are available through U-M, and nationwide through retail pharmacies, if needed. To schedule a second-dose appointment through U-M, individuals should call 734-763-6336 to provide information on their first-dose manufacturer and be scheduled.
