During these times, guidance and regulations around mandatory COVID-19 vaccines continue to change. As a clinical requirement, some of our contracted healthcare facilities may be authorized under law to require specific vaccinations. Lively Technical College is committed to closely monitoring the situation in order to communicate changes and requirements to students in a timely manner. However, by applying for a health education program that has clinicals as a requirement for completion of the program, students must acknowledge that they may be required to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine at any point in the program to be in compliance with the clinical site requirements. Students must acknowledge that failure to be in compliance with the COVID-19 vaccine may result in withdrawal from the program.
