I am pleased to announce that per the updated NYS DOH COVID-19 Vaccine Program guidance all in-person, essential staff at the college are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at any State or Local Health Department operated vaccine site effective immediately.
This guidance includes all campus staff who are currently working in-person, regardless of job title or job function. Please note this expansion does not apply to anyone who is working 100% remotely.
All employees who are currently working in-person, part- or full-time, are encouraged to schedule an appointment at a state vaccination site by utilizing New York’s “Am I Eligible?” website or by calling the state’s COVID-19 Vaccination Hotline at 1-833-NYS-4-VAX (1-833-697-4829).
When registering for a vaccine appointment, please note that the current category of “In-person College Faculty and Instructors” has been revised to include “In-Person College Faculty and Essential In-Person Staff.” See page 10 of the March 10 guidance linked in paragraph one above.
Eligible employees can also check the Capital Region Vaccine Hub for links to vaccine clinics or other resources that may be available regionally or in their county of residence.
The college allows up to four hours of administrative leave time for those being vaccinated. Human Resources requires documentation from the employee.
