UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State faculty and staff are being asked to complete a short and important anonymous survey about their current COVID-19 vaccination status or plans to get vaccinated before the start of the fall semester.

The University’s plans for fall will be informed by understanding how many Penn State students, faculty and staff are vaccinated for COVID-19 and it is vital for the University to have this data to inform what, if any, additional mitigation strategies may need to be implemented when on-campus activities fully resume in August.

University employees will receive an email sent to their Penn State email address on Wednesday (June 30) with a URL where they can complete the survey online in about two minutes. Regardless of whether they have already submitted their vaccination status through the Salesforce Health Cloud, employees are asked to complete this survey as soon as possible.

This survey is completely anonymous and the aggregate data will only be used to inform the University’s COVID-19 management plan and modify approaches, if needed.

A separate survey that will be distributed to Penn State students is forthcoming.
