Weekly Wellness Tip: Get your ID Badge Sticker
UNMC has guidelines in place to protect our community from COVID-19. Our clinical partners have reported that many patients are asking about the vaccine status of their providers. In response, Nebraska Medicine and many of our other clinical partners announced they are distributing ID badge stickers to individuals who are fully vaccinated.
Since all UNMC students, faculty and staff must comply with the requirements at our clinical partner sites, UNMC also will be distributing unique ID badge stickers to individuals who are fully vaccinated and have their COVID-19 vaccination recorded in the Health Tracking System. This demonstrates our commitment to policies being utilized by our clinical partners and their patients.
