*沃拉沃拉大学 护理学院 和 most of our clinical partners require proof of immunizations.  为了公共安全,这包括COVID-19免疫系列, which continues to be highly recommended.  另外, at some clinical partner locations, a student may submit a COVID-19 declination form based upon a qualifying sincerely held religious belief or disability.  All students must adhere to the clinical site’s requirements designed to minimize COVID-19 transmission.  If a clinical site requires the COVID-19 vaccine, then unvaccinated students will not be permitted to participate in that clinical partner’s program 和 the student’s preferred clinical rotation may therefore be affected.
