Covid-19 Vaccinations

(1) For health care students, vaccinations may be advocated not only in the interest of the individual student, but also as a protection to health service users and workers, some of whom may have medical vulnerabilities. Getting vaccinated helps to protect people around students, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from certain viruses.
(2) Access to educational opportunities in some healthcare settings may not be granted to healthcare students if they are not vaccinated and will not agree to vaccination that is not otherwise contraindicated. In most instances it may not be possible for the Higher Educational Institutions to provide alternative training/educational opportunities to replace this access. As placements are a critical and compulsory component of Clinical Therapies programmes and are necessary to fulfil registration requirements, this in turn may delay progression through and potential completion of Clinical Therapies programmes at UCC.
