Visitor Vaccine Policy

Information updated: October 4, 2021

Thomas Jefferson University requires all campus visitors 18 years of age and older to attest that they are fully vaccinated at least two weeks before coming onto campus. This requirement is consistent with the City of Philadelphia regulations regarding visitors and vaccination on college campuses, and helps the University keep its students, staff, faculty and visitors safe when they are on our property. All visitors must complete an online vaccination attestation form (link below) prior to their visit. Visitors must also bring proof of vaccination to campus and be prepared to present it to a University official if requested. The vaccination attestation form takes only a few moments to complete. You do not have to upload any documents and your information is completely confidential. You will receive an email confirmation of your submission.

All campus visitors, regardless of age, must wear a mask when in any building on the Jefferson campus.
