It is VHA policy that medical facilities will achieve a mandatory COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccination(VA Form 10-9050- Influenza Vaccine) program by requiring all trainees to receive initial COVID-19 and annual seasonal influenza vaccination or obtain an exemption for medical or religious reasons(VA Form 10-230 for COVID vaccination). Compliance with this directive is a condition of training at VA. Trainees in violation of this directive may face disciplinary action up to and including removal from federal service.
For Without Compensation trainee rotations, the rotation and dates must first be confirmed by the Chillicothe VAMC clinical or administrative service. Academic Affairs will contact the trainee with onboarding requirements and timelines. All steps must be completed within the designated time frame prior to the rotation start date.
Onboarding is completed through the Account Provisioning and Deprovisioning System(APDS).
