Vaccination Policy Statement

The University is committed to providing and maintaining healthy and safe working and learning environments for all employees, students, volunteers and visitors.

The University's Vaccination Policy-COVID-19 Requirements for Employees and Students (the "Vaccination Policy"), requires all McMaster community members, including employees, accessing a McMaster campus or facility in person to be fully vaccinated or to have received an exemption from the University for a valid human rights ground.

While the Vaccination Policy is currently paused, it may resume quickly and on short notice, as informed by public health advice and direction.

Should it become necessary in future to resume the Policy, all community members will need to demonstrate compliance at that time.

Successful applicants in those positions that work in host hospitals or other healthcare sites that have active vaccination mandates in place will need to comply with these and any other health and safety measures necessary as part of their appointment.

The University will continue to follow the guidance of public health organizations to define fully vaccinated status.
