<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif">I’m writing to ask that you remind your students that they must meet
<a href="https://www.ohio.edu/coronavirus/vaccine/vaccine-requirement">OHIO’s Vaccination Requirement</a> in order to attend spring semester classes. Please remind them that they must declare their Vaccination Pathway by submitting proof of vaccination or an
approved exemption by November 15. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif">Importantly, meeting that deadline will require that students plan ahead to allow time for both doses of a two-dose vaccine, and to allow time to submit their vaccination record or approved
exemption. <b>That means they need to start the vaccination process as early as mid-October to meet the Nov. 15 deadline.</b> Information that will help students plan accordingly is available
<a href="https://www.ohio.edu/coronavirus/vaccine/vaccine-requirement">here</a>. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif">Those students who submit approved exemptions from the vaccination requirement will be required to test weekly and wear a mask indoors regardless of other masking requirements.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
