In order to ensure a healthy and safe work environment, Princeton University is requiring all employees to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccine before their start date. Employees who cannot receive the vaccine because of a disability/medical contraindication or sincerely-held religious belief may request an accommodation (e.g., an exemption) to this requirement. Learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.
This requirement helps enable our employees to thrive in their careers at Princeton and make the greatest impact on all those we serve through the University.
