By uploading your records, we can track the percentage of the UW-Parkside community that has been fully vaccinated (similar to what is being tracked at the local and state level). This information will be used to determine when and how to adjust campus requirements related to COVID-19 mitigation (i.e., mask-wearing and social distancing).
To date, approximately 120 of our 500+ employees have uploaded their vaccination records to UW-Parkside’s private MyChart portal. This is the electronic medical records system maintained by the Student Health Center. Once verified, individuals who have uploaded their vaccination records are exempt from UW System’s current bi-weekly COVID-19 testing requirements for all employees working on campus.
