Because unvaccinated people in Abilene and elsewhere are proving to be the individuals most likely to be affected by the Delta variant,\u00a0we strongly encourage COVID-19 vaccination<\/strong>. We realize that is your choice, and the university will not require it at this point (except for international travel), as we are shifting away from managing community care and asking individuals to be responsible for their wellness. That means vaccination is still the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

We deeply appreciate all who have notified the ACU Medical Clinic about their vaccination status. If you have not already done so, you can upload your card\u00a0here<\/a>. Our\u00a0Coronavirus website<\/a>\u00a0is always the best place to check for the most recent information and protocols. The\u00a0Weber Medical Clinic<\/a>\u00a0on campus has the Moderna and J&J vaccinations available, with walk-ins welcome.<\/p>\n

At this time, vaccinated individuals\u00a0will not<\/strong>\u00a0have to quarantine if exposed. The CDC recommends they self-monitor, get tested within three to five days, and wear a mask for 14 days unless they test negative. Unvaccinated individuals\u00a0must<\/strong>\u00a0quarantine if exposed. To confidentially notify the Medical Clinic of your vaccination status, you can upload your vaccination card\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We will continue to monitor CDC guidelines and take additional action or revise our protocols as necessary to ensure campus health and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
