UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State faculty and staff who have received their booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine are strongly encouraged to share that information with the University by uploading an image of their Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card into Penn State’s Salesforce Health Cloud, a secure online platform for collecting and storing health data.

The vaccine card must show information on primary and booster doses, including the vaccine type, dates for all doses and the healthcare provider or clinic that administered each dose. Employees who have not yet uploaded proof that they have received their primary series of vaccine — what is currently described as being fully vaccinated — are still able to do so through Salesforce Health Cloud.

Individuals who have their booster shot on record with the University are not required to quarantine if they are identified as a close contact of someone who tests positive for COVID-19.

Students, too, are strongly encouraged to share their booster shot information with the University as well. Students at University Park, Commonwealth Campuses and Dickinson Law who have received their booster shot can upload their vaccination records through myUHS. The process is similar to the one used by students to share proof of being fully vaccinated.

Information on how World Campus students can share their booster shot information is forthcoming.
