Dear Carolina Community,
As you may be aware, President Biden’s Executive Order 14042 and guidance issued by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force requires employees of federal contractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no later than Dec. 8. UNC-Chapel Hill receives $160 million in federal contract funding, which supports cutting-edge research, educational programs, and other initiatives, so the University is subject to these requirements.

As the fall semester comes to an end, the Carolina Together Testing Program Team would like to share how grateful we are for the efforts of this community to keep our campus safe and engaged during this challenging time. Your consistency has paid off, and our positivity rate continues to hold steady and low.
An increase in influenza, “flu,” activity has been detected nationally in recent weeks, and we have diagnosed a number of cases already this semester at Campus Health. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. This year, getting your flu vaccination is even more important. With both flu and COVID-19 circulating in our community this fall and winter, being vaccinated against influenza in addition to COVID-19 will help reduce the overall burden of respiratory diseases and help conserve health care resources.
As we wrap up the semester, we wanted to take a moment to thank our students, faculty and staff for all you’ve done to make an on-campus experience possible. From following our community standards to getting vaccinated, you are the reason for our success.
The UNC-Chapel Hill COVID-19 Dashboard is a source of information for us to remain updated on COVID-19 data related to our campus, local and state communities.
