COVID-19 vaccine requirement for new employees

Effective Aug. 2, 2024, Washington University in St. Louis has made the decision to no longer require new employees to provide proof of, or receive, a COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment. The COVID-19 vaccine will still be offered and encouraged.

WashU policies and procedural documents referencing this requirement are in the process of being reviewed and updated. Revised policies will be published on the Office of Human Resources website soon.

WashU reserves the right to amend, modify or discontinue its policies and procedures, including those outlining requirements for employment, at its sole discretion with or without notice.
