Vaccine Mandate
As you are likely aware, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ability of CMS to require organizations who receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to implement a mandatory vaccine policy. This policy extends to all individuals working in covered healthcare settings, including students. IRMC is implementing our COVID vaccine policy in response to this decision. As a result:
Effective January 27, 2022 – all students completing clinical rotations or internships at IRMC or affiliated entities must have the first vaccination or a pending request for a medical or religious exemption.
Effective February 28, 2022 - all students completing clinical rotations or internships at IRMC or affiliated entities must have completed the primary vaccination series or have an approved request for a medical or religious exemption.
For vaccinated individuals, documentation of vaccination must be provided to our Employee Health Department. For large group clinical rotations, faculty should compile a list of all students and provide documentation with one submission. For individuals completing rotations or internships, documentation will be requested as part of the pre-field experience clearance process. Students who are also employees do not need to complete the form twice.
Medical Exemption Form (Part 1)
Medical Exemption: If you are submitting a medical exemption above, you must also print the Medical Certification for COVID-19 Vaccine Exemption form for your physician to complete. Once completed, please send to Employee Health via email at vclevenger@indianarmc.org.
