Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone be required to disclose their vaccination status?

Current guidance considers an individual’s vaccination status protected personal information. As a result, individuals should not be asked about vaccination status. The university continues to encourage everyone on campus to follow protocols for the spaces in which they work or study to prevent the virus from spreading. If the protocols for a particular space are unclear, please email c19@olemiss.edu. University officials will continue to follow developments and guidance on vaccination status and disclosure.

What is the current status of vaccine rollout in Mississippi?

Currently, all Mississippians ages 16 and above are eligible to schedule appointments at MSDH COVID-19 vaccination clinics throughout the state.

How is the university managing vaccines on campus?

The university has assembled a Vaccine Distribution and Administration Task Force, which will develop a strategy to provide ample opportunities for faculty, staff, and students of the university to be immunized using the supply of vaccines provided by the Mississippi Department of Health.

How will the campus be notified of vaccine updates and availability?

Any updates or new information will be pushed out through normal UM communications, and you can also check out this page dedicated to our vaccine rollout plan.
