I uploaded proof of having received a booster shot, but how do I know if it has been accepted? I’m trying to comply with the booster requirement, but I didn’t get an email or anything saying it had been accepted, and I am getting messages saying I am not yet in compliance.
After you upload your proof of a booster shot, it still needs to be reviewed by the Immunization Team. That usually takes about three days.
If your proof of a booster shot is accepted, you won’t get any notification. However, if you want to double-check that it was accepted, it’s easy:
- Wait three or four days from the time you uploaded.
- Log into the Student Health Center Portal (regardless of whether you are a student or employee), and when you are on the page with your name, look for “immunizations” in the navigation column on the left.
- If you see the date of your booster shot in your immunization history, then you are all set.
If there’s a problem with what you uploaded — eg, the document you uploaded was missing required information — you will be contacted by email by the Student Health Center. And if, say, a week has passed since you uploaded and you are continuing to get lots of email reminders saying you haven’t uploaded yet or asking you when you’re going to upload, then you should check to see if your booster shot upload was accepted, using the instructions outlined in this email — there’s a decent chance your upload didn’t go through or wasn’t approved.
