SUBMIT PROOF OF VACCINATION BY NOVEMBER 5 |
If you have declared that you are vaccinated through SFU’s Vaccine Declaration you must now submit a photo of your BC Vaccine Card to show proof of vaccination by Friday, November 5.
This extra step will help us validate the data collected, which will be used to determine whether making vaccination mandatory for faculty and staff will be required.
TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO SUBMIT A PHOTO OF YOUR BC VACCINE CARD:
- Log into the Thrive website.
- Select “Update your vaccination declaration form.”
- You will have to reselect your vaccination status: Yes, I am fully vaccinated or No, I am partially vaccinated.
- Upload a photo of your BC Vaccine Card.
- Check off the acknowledgement and select SUBMIT.
See the screenshots on How to upload Proof of Vaccination for more information.
WHAT'S NEXT
We will conduct an audit in November to ensure the accuracy of the submissions.
