COVID Vaccine and Testing FAQs

At this time, there is no routine testing program for unvaccinated individuals.

It is highly recommended that unvaccinated individuals test often and protect themselves and others by wearing a mask whenever possible. 

If you have questions, reach out to the CU Denver Vaccine Verification Team.

Public Health Response Director, Lacey.Klindt@ucdenver.edu

Students, staff and faculty are recommended to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, but it is currently not required

 

If you test positive for COVID-19 either on a rapid (or at home) test, or on a PCR test - take the following steps immediately:

1.   Isolate and follow CDC guidance. DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS WHILE ISOLATING.

2.   Inform your professor(s) or inform your supervisor, if you are an employee of your absence. 

Use the CU Denver referral form if you know of anyone who needs support or if you have a concern about something related to the spread of COVID-19.

If a student in your class or an employee in your unit informs you they have tested positive for COVID-19, remind them they must stay home, and they can use the CDC Isolation and Exposure Calculator to help determine how long to isolate.

It is NEVER ok to share the name of a positive student or employee to the class or work unit. 

If you have a question about a student or employee’s status, email the Public Health Response Director: Lacey.Klindt@ucdenver.edu

If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 you should notify your close contacts of an exposure. 

A close contact is someone who was less than 6 feet from you for more than 15 minutes or more in the 2 days leading up to feeling sick (or testing positive if you have no symptoms).

Visit the CDC website for more information.

No. We are, however, continuing to monitor the aggregate vaccination data to ensure our community is as protected as possible. If we identify large trends of individuals who are not vaccinated, we will implement policy changes for that population as needed.

The Health Center at Auraria offers COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots. Additionally, local pharmacies and healthcare providers offer COVID vaccinations that may be more conveniently located.

If you got vaccinated in Colorado and are unable to match your information in the CIIS database, please email cdphe.ciis@state.co.us with a request stating that you want your information added/ updated in the Colorado Immunization database and include a copy of your vaccine card, legal first and last name, address, sex, DOB, and phone number. A return email should be received in 6-8 business days. If no communication or follow-up is received, please contact the COVID-19 vaccine hotline at 1-877-268-2926.

If you received your vaccination outside of Colorado, it will not be reflected in the CIIS database.

You can check your vaccine record in CIIS here.
