Vaccination Statement

After careful consideration of
COVID-19 virus trends and the overwhelming evidence of COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness, the School of Medicine, along with MU
Health Care, the Sinclair School of Nursing and the School of Health Professions, recently announced the decision to require COVID-19
vaccinations by Oct. 1, 2021, for all employees, unless granted a medical or religious exemption.

All new
hires will be required to submit proof of vaccination prior to your start date. If you would like to request a medical or religious
exemption, you must do so upon acceptance of employment so our team has time to review prior to your scheduled start date. You will not be
allowed to begin work until you have submitted proof of vaccination or received an approved medical or religious
exemption.

Thank you for helping us to create the safest environment possible for our colleagues, students
and our patients by protecting yourself and others through COVID-19 vaccination.
