June 15 Town Hall: Frank Shushok on Covid vaccine exemptions
Q. Key ways that you can receive a medical exemption as first, a medical exemption, which requires that your physician sign off on that exemption. It's notarized and uploaded into the shift Health Center Portal. The second is if you have a sincerely held religious conviction that you should not be vaccinated, then there's a form that needs to be notarized and as also uplifted into the shift Health Center portal. There is a very small group of graduate students who may have a completely online course schedule or doing a 100 percent research that won't be coming to any Virginia Tech campus that can also receive an exemption.
In a town hall conversation on June 15, Frank Shushok, vice president for student affairs, explains the options when it comes to requesting an exemption from the Covid vaccine.
