As part of Western's Covid-19 Vaccine Policy, all employees must submit their proof of vaccination in order to work on campus. In rare circumstances individuals may be granted an exemption for medical reasons and other grounds protected under the Ontario's Human Rights Code. Individuals granted an exemption will be required to undergo testing, with test results submitted to the University.
All members of the community must upload proof of vaccination by September 7. Those who have not provided proof that they are fully vaccinated have until October 12 to submit proof of full vaccination and will be required to be tested for COVID-19 twice per seven-day period in the interim to attend campus, with results submitted to the University.
Individuals must receive their second dose no later than September 28, 2021, to be considered fully vaccinated by October 12, 2021.
Ontarians who received their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine out of province should contact their local public health unit to record their information and receive proper documentation.
