In addition to getting the best protection available against COVID-19, all Tulane employees will receive paid time off to get the vaccine. Tulane employees can make an appointment via this link to receive their vaccine at clinics on either the uptown or downtown campus. The vaccine is also available at pharmacies and other locations throughout the state. Employees will also receive paid time off to recover from any negative reaction to the vaccine. So, get vaccinated and register to win your money today!

Please Report Your Vaccinations

All students are required to take or decline a COVID-19 vaccination. Employees are strongly encouraged to report their vaccine status, as well.

• If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic other than the Tulane Vaccine Clinic, located on the first floor of the JBJ Building, the Tulane Living Well Occupational Health Clinic, located at 1430 Tulane Avenue, Room 1510 or the Phelps Hall Vaccination Clinic on the uptown campus, please report proof of vaccination through the Campus Health Patient Portal. If you need additional guidance, please review this online video tutorial.
• If you were vaccinated at one of the Tulane vaccine clinics mentioned above, your record will be updated automatically. No additional action is required from you at this time.
• If you choose to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine for medical, religious, or personal reasons, you must submit a Vaccine Declination Form.

If you have any questions about COVID-19 testing or the Campus Health Patient Portal, please email chtestresults@tulane.edu.

For all COVID-19 vaccine questions, please email covidvaccine@tulane.edu.

International Students

International Students should upload a copy of their COVID-19 vaccine documentation into the Campus Health Patient Portal. We are currently accepting most international vaccines. You will be contacted if your vaccine is not accepted, and you need to be vaccinated again once you arrive on campus. If you are unable to get vaccinated prior to your arrival in the U.S., you should schedule your vaccine series as soon as you arrive in the U.S. Failure to report your vaccine status or schedule your vaccine upon arrival in the U.S. may result in registration holds.

All current Tulane policies related to COVID-19 will apply to you once you are on campus. If you are not vaccinated prior to arrival, you will be responsible for following the appropriate campus guidance.

International travelers should follow all current CDC guidance. You are responsible for any U.S. travel quarantine and should plan accordingly, based on your situation and the guidance at the time of your travel. Current CDC Travel Guidance by location is available here.
