Vaccination Statement

Vaccination Statement

The clinical facilities that have agreed to provide experiential education within the ECU School of Nursing program curriculum require designated vaccinations to participate in clinical and/or instruction at their facility. ECU SoN has no authority to waive the clinical sites vaccinations requirements. Currently, most, if not all of the facilities accepting ECU SoN students are requiring an approved Covid vaccine in order to participate in on-site clinical or instruction. The clinical facilities are also responsible for the evaluation and administration of requests for exemptions to their respective vaccination requirements, which may vary among clinical facilities. Due to these facility vaccination requirements, unvaccinated students may not be able to satisfy a required component of the curriculum and therefore may be unable to complete the nursing program. Any student wishing to be exempt will be responsible for contacting their assigned clinical facility(ies) for the waiver process. Copies of any approved waivers must be submitted to the SoN, and the student will be required to sign a disclaimer acknowledging understanding.

It is highly recommended that the admitted student complies with all vaccinations for uninterrupted progress through the program.
