The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an advisory for elevated incidences of respiratory disease due to multiple viruses (RSV, influenza and COVID-19). It’s a good time to talk to your student about Pacific’s guidelines to protect the health, safety and well-being of everybody on our campuses.

Vaccinations and Boosters

• Vaccinations are highly effective in preventing influenza and COVID-19.
• Pacific requires all students and employees to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes primary doses of vaccines, as well as boosters that are recommended for individuals based on their eligibility.
• To find influenza and COVID-19 vaccination locations and register for an appointment, visit California’s MyTurn.

Symptoms

• If your student feels ill or tests positive for COVID-19, they should contact the Student Health Center (209-946-2315, choose option #1) or their health care provider and avoid contact with others
• Read Pacific’s current COVID-19 isolation and quarantine requirements to determine the duration of isolation or quarantine period.
• COVID-19 test kits can be obtained through health care providers, local and online retailers, pharmacies and other sources. Students can also be tested at the Student Health Centers on each campus. Learn more about where to obtain test kits.
• If your student tests positive, they should report the results on our website.
• Review the CDC’s guidelines for influenza.

Facial Coverings

• Facial coverings are required for students, faculty and staff working in or visiting health care settings on all Pacific campuses.
• Facial coverings are required for anyone who has been exposed to COVID-19.
• Facial coverings for all others are optional and are strongly encouraged in indoor settings during this period of increased respiratory disease incidences.

Pacific continuously monitors conditions and provides updates as needed. If you have additional questions, please visit our COVID-19 website or email COVID-19_information@pacific.edu.
