An exemption process is available for those who have a documented and very specific medical reason or sincerely held religious belief that precludes them from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Be sure to schedule an appointment as soon as possible, from anywhere vaccines are available. Employee Health can assist — just call 570-214-9424.
