UMMS has established a tiered, color-coded approach to its Strict Patient Safety Policy and Infection Prevention policies. The goal is to guide and coordinate the System’s approach to ensuring the safety and protection of all UMMS team members and patients.

The tiered, color-coded levels -- green, yellow, orange and red -- are based on the current risk level.

THE CURRENT LEVEL for our Strict Patient Safety Policy and Infection Prevention policies is YELLOW.

Staying up to date with your vaccinations is more important than ever to maintain optimal protection against COVID-19. As immunity wanes and new variants emerge, getting a booster shot as soon as you are eligible is more important than ever—booster shots provide an extra layer of protection against COVID-19 for a longer period

If you received your booster shot at a non-UMMS location, we are now requiring you to submit documentation to us so we can update your vaccination status in our system. Visit umms.org/VaxReporting and click the button that says, “Submit Your Documentation.”
