As part of the university's comprehensive vaccination program, all
Cornell employees are required to have and provide proof of an FDA-or
WHO-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine and booster or have
obtained a university-approved disability/medical or religious
exemption, regardless of their role and work location.
New hires are required to provide documentation showing full
vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or
Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before
their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or
information is not received by their start date, the first day of work
will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of
employment may be withdrawn.
