On-campus Vaccination Rates

Understanding the data

* Confirmed positive on-campus cases (defined as individuals having been on campus within 48 hours prior to the onset of symptoms): The above positive cases include undergraduate and graduate students who are living and/or studying on campus for the semsester and employees who are working physically on campus. Positive tests may have been administered by The Engle Center at Messiah or at another medical facility. In cases where a student or employee fails to disclose to the University that they have tested positive, the University will have no way of knowing and communicating that information. Accordingly, this dashboard includes positive cases that the University has been made aware of, or has conducted the testing for itself. 

On-campus vaccination rate: is reported based on the documentation of vaccination status as provided by students and employees via the secure Messiah University health portal.

The University has a steering team (The Messiah University Integration and Response Team) in place that is daily monitoring the status of Messiah’s COVID-19 testing and results and is coordinating the appropriate community health response in coordination with supporting campus offices and programs.
