<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;background:white">While completing the form is entirely voluntary at this time, I strongly encourage any employee who has completed their vaccination series (either through two doses of the Pfizer/Moderna
vaccines or one of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine) to fill it out as soon as possible.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Any employee who completes the
<span style="background:white">COVID-19 Vaccine Tracking Form</span> will receive a new UCR R’Card, which normally costs $30 to order. The R’Card can be used as payment at campus stores and restaurants and offers several other benefits such as UCR Library privileges,
educator discounts, and access to campus facilities. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;background:white">Submitting the vaccination record will mean you will not have to so later, and will allow the university to better know the percentage of employees who have been fully vaccinated
– which is essential toward further reducing restrictions on campus and ensuring the health and safety of our campus community.
