By Monday, January 17, 2022, healthcare workers across the state will be required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (unless they qualify for an exemption) plus a booster dose of the vaccine (within 4 weeks of becoming eligible for the booster). The purpose of this is to help control the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, protect patients, and protect the state’s healthcare workforce. We fully support the Governor’s Executive Order.

  • This vaccine requirement applies to all MMC and LCPP healthcare workers, vendors, contractors, volunteers, and students who enter our many facilities.

All students who are unvaccinated against COVID-19 and have an approved exemption will need to wear a respirator (N95) in all areas of MMC and LCPP buildings. All protocols for patients requiring isolation precautions supersede the masking requirements above.

    • Although you will notice MMC/LCPP staff with stickers on their badges indicating current COVID-19 vaccination, these stickers will not be a requirement for students. Instead, we will add the COVID-19 vaccine as part of the required records within Student Clearance Packets.
    • For any specific questions about this record, please contact our Employee Health Services:
