COVID-19 vaccinations
All students accessing SUNY facilities for any in-person classes or activities must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with limited exception. A booster is strongly encouraged but not required.
On-campus JCC students are required to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination and all other required immunizations to the Health Center to avoid academic withdrawal from all on-campus courses, financial liability, or negative impacts on financial aid status. Requests for medical and religious exemptions for the spring semester were due January 12, 2023 for review.
COVID-19 vaccination includes:
- Two shots of Moderna
- Two shots of Pfizer-BioNTech
- Two shots of Novavax
- One shot of J&J/Janssen (According to the CDC, in most situations, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax COVID-19 vaccines are recommended over the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.)
Students who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccination of a two-vaccine series may register for on-campus courses and can attend on-campus activities, provided they:
- File for a medical deferral with the Health Centers, and
- Receive the second vaccine in the required schedule for that vaccine’s series.
