The Pandemic Orders requiring two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine for the higher education sector have been removed, with responsibility for vaccine requirements shifting to individual employers.
This means employers are able to set their own workplace conditions, including whether to continue requiring their staff to have two or three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. Please check with your employer directly to see if you are required to have received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Despite these changes, you are strongly encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you are eligible. COVID-19 third doses are recommended for anyone aged 16 and over who had their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine three or more months ago.
While students and other visitors attending onsite (excluding paid or volunteer workers) are no longer required to show evidence that they have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination, those undertaking placements must continue to adhere to the vaccination mandate that applies to their sector.
For more information about COVID-19 vaccines, including how to book them, visit COVID-19 vaccines.
