Vaccination and Testing Policy

The School of Dentistry recommends Covid-19 and flu vaccinations for all dental hygiene, dental and post-graduate residency program faculty. The following vaccination and testing are required by all faculty members: 

  • A current Tdap vaccination 
  • Proof of immunity to Hepatitis B by way of surface antibody titer results
  • Tuberculosis testing annually by way of PPD skin test or QuantiFERON blood test or biannually by way of chest x-ray
Our clinical care partners in community-based sites no longer accept exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons. Effective immediately, faculty with exemptions for religious and philosophical reasons can no longer teach at off-site clinical rotations. Faculty with a vaccine exemption provided by a qualified physician will be considered case by case.
