<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We write today to stress the importance of the previously communicated requirement that
<b>all eligible employees must obtain a COVID-19 vaccination booster. Please submit your proof of vaccination by February 25, 2022</b>. Information on who is eligible for a booster can be found

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Vaccination records for UC Riverside employees will be stored in the new HIPAA-secure Epic system (also called MyChart), which is managed in partnership between UC San Diego Health and UCR Health.
<a name="_Hlk93411774">Epic provides multiple advantages for storing and managing confidential employee vaccination records, which will benefit UCR’s pandemic response going forward.
</a>Due to the transition to the new MyChart system, we are providing additional time for UCR employees to submit their booster information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
