ϹAH Communicable Diseases Vaccination Requirement

As the sponsor of ACGME accredited residency and fellowship training programs, the Ϲ Affiliated Hospitals (ϹAH) requires its housestaff to take necessary actions to maintain a safe and healthy working, learning and patient care environment for all.

ϹAH believes that vaccination against certain communicable diseases is a safe and effective means of reducing the burden of disease in our community, and is important for the health and safety of patients, visitors, employees and learners at our affiliated training sites. To that end ϹAH requires either vaccination for certain communicable diseases or a ϹAH approved Accommodation Exemption for all its housestaff and any visiting residents or fellows.

Full requirements and details are outlined in ϹAH’s Communicable Diseases Vaccination Policy, a complete copy of which can be found on this website under Institutional Policies.
