Get your booster now, as Omicron looms
During a recent update from Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s office, Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, noted the COVID-19 omicron variant has now been identified in the United States. The variant has not yet been found in Kentucky. The variant has several genetic changes. Research is underway to determine if these changes impact transmissibility, severity, immunity and treatments, according to a release from Gov. Beshear’s office.
 
COVID-19 vaccines are still recommended as the best way to prevent severe illness and hospitalization for any COVID variant. The CDC now strongly recommends that anyone 18+ who is eligible for a booster receive a booster.
Upload your vaccination
status by Jan. 4, 2022
Kentucky State University is requesting all employees to submit vaccination information on the ADP Health Check Portal by Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2022.

If you are unable to upload the information into the ADP, please submit a copy of your vaccination card (front & back) to the Office of Human Resources at human.resources@kysu.edu. All information received will be confidential. 

How to upload your status to ADP: 

  • Open the ADP Mobile App on your device and log in. 
  • After logging in, users should see the prompt on the dashboard that says “COVID-19 Health Check-in” above Pay information. Select Respond. 
  • The next screen will display the question “Have you received a COVID-19 vaccination?” with a note that says if a user responds they are fully vaccinated, they will be required to upload photo proof of the vaccination on the next step. The options are as follows: 
  • Yes, I am FULLY vaccinated (it has been at least weeks since I received a single-dose vaccine or the second dose in a 2-dose series.” 
  • Yes, I am PARTIALLY vaccinated (I have not received the second dose in a 2-dose series, or it has been less than 2 weeks since I received a single-dose vaccine or the second dose in a 2-dose series.
  • No, I have NOT received a vaccination. 
  • I prefer not to answer at this time.
  • When an employee selects the option stating they are fully vaccinated, the next screen will display a calendar to select the date of their complete vaccination. 
  • After selecting the date, it will prompt the user to add a photo of the front of their vaccination status. Once the user adds the photo, it will provide an opportunity to re-submit the photo or submit it as-is. 
  • The user will be prompted to either submit a photo of the back of the card or select “my proof only has a front”. Users will again have the opportunity to re-submit the photo. 
  • The user will receive a confirmation message. The employee can select Done. 
  • Under the COVID-19 Vaccination Survey section, the user should see the status updated to “Complete” and the date the survey was completed.
