Read Time: 2 mins

As we move forward, we understand that you may have questions and concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine policy. We continue to update the FAQ document to help address common questions and provide clarity. The following sections have been updated as of August 11: 

New questions addressed: 

  • What should I do if I wish to submit a medical exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine, but I cannot get in to see my doctor and my doctor will not complete the exemption paperwork until after the established exemption request deadlines? 
  • If I receive my first dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine and come infected with COVID-19 before my second dose, what should I do? 
  • Are there exclusions for coverage under Kettering Health’s benefits plans for claims related to COVID-19 vaccine reactions because the vaccines are only authorized for emergency use by the FDA? 

Updated answers: 

  • How do I submit proof of my vaccination status of Kettering Health’s records show that I have not received the COVID-19 vaccine? 
  • Do I need to submit proof of vaccination if I receive or received my vaccine from a Kettering Health vaccine clinic?  
  • Is the seasonal flu vaccination still required, too? How, if at all, will the COVID-19 vaccine requirement affect the annual flu vaccine campaign?  
  • If I experience side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine and can’t come to work, will I receive paid time off? 
  • Am I required to get my COVID-19 vaccine at a Kettering Health vaccination clinic? 
  • What should I do if I received my first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine over 6 weeks ago and I have not received the second dose?
