As the university continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation, please be sure to carefully and regularly review messages from App State. In her Nov. 5 message to campus, Chancellor Sheri Everts reminded the campus community that the university continues to encourage vaccination, makes testing readily available and shares up-to-date data weekly on the COVID-19 Dashboard. She reported the latest vaccination rates for students and employees, and shared on-campus COVID-19 test positivity rates.

Upload proof of full vaccination nowStudents, faculty and staff who have not already done so should upload proof of full COVID-19 vaccination status now. Because we cannot access your medical records without your permission, this includes anyone who was vaccinated on campus. Employees were asked to upload proof of full COVID-19 vaccination status by Oct. 29. As of Nov. 1, employee attestation records are no longer being honored.

Get tested weekly if you have not uploaded proof of full vaccinationStudents and employees who have not uploaded proof of full COVID-19 vaccination are required to participate in weekly COVID-19 testing (until a vaccine record has been received and reviewed).

CDC and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) continue to urge everyone to get vaccinated against the flu, as well as COVID-19. A new CDC study reinforces that COVID-19 vaccination offers better protection than a previous COVID-19 infection — data demonstrates that vaccination provides a higher, more robust and more consistent level of immunity to protect people from hospitalization. Where can I get a flu vaccine?CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older.
Where can I get a COVID-19 vaccine, booster or additional dose?All currently authorized and recommended COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and reduce your risk of severe illness. If you have questions, talk with your healthcare provider.
CDC recommends the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11
