I am a first-year nursing student. I am writing to discuss a concern regarding the clinical placement requirements.
One of the requirements for clinical placement is to have at least two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, I am currently unvaccinated and, after careful consideration, have decided not to get vaccinated. From my understanding, the government no longer mandates COVID-19 vaccination for healthcare workers.

Could you please help me explore my options and any possible accommodations that may be available? I am committed to fulfilling the clinical placement requirements and would appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Thank you for your assistance.

We would be pleased to have a consultation with you to discuss your potential options here. However, there is no precedent for a right to accommodation for non-vaccination, so it will likely be very difficult to persuade an organization to accommodate purely on that basis, unless you have a medical condition or religious belief that conflicts with vaccination.
