2	University of Alabama (UAB)	AL	MD		Positively	Yes	Low	We are not considered healthcare workers (phase 1a) so will be prioritized in phase 1b	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
3	University of South Alabama College of Medicine	AL	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	We can get them now. I got mine this week!	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	n/a
4	University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)	AR	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	Medium	The M3’s and M4’s at my school have second tier priority. The first set of vaccines went to nurses and doctors who work directly with covid patients and a week later the M3’s and M4’s will receive the vaccine	Yes	Low	The m1/m2’s at my school have have 3rd tier priority and will receive the vaccine when hospital administrators who do not have direct contact receive it
5	University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)	AR	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	MS4 here at UAMS got vaccinated today 12/21!	Unsure / Other	Medium	Pre-clinical students will be receiving the vaccine after ICU staff, COVID testing staff, and inpatient staff.	Yes my school is very transparent about the vaccine.
6	Creighton University Phoenix Regional Campus	AZ	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	Clinical students at the Phoenix campus were placed in phase 1a	Yes	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
7	University of Arizona - Phoenix	AZ	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Let us know about a week after the vaccine was approved that we will be in the first group to receive a vaccine. I am getting my vaccine the first week of January.	Yes	Unsure / Unknown	I’m not sure about the lower classmen but I know they were communicated with	Overall very happy with the schools response, but it seems like the state is running the show. Not sure how much credit goes to the school versus the state
8	University of Arizona - Tucson	AZ	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Medium	Very little. Appears they are at the mercy of their affiliate hospital for getting vaccines obtained for students. Their main affiliate does not appear to be interested in vaccinating their own residents and attending docs, let alone medical students. Attendings are vocally wondering where they all went after the first wave was given out.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Imagine similar vague timelines	Banner is shady AF, avoid this place if you can
9	University of Arizona - Tucson	AZ	MD	MS2/OMS2	Negatively	Unsure / Other	No	Not sure	Unsure / Other	No	Preclerkship students received an email asking us to volunteer to vaccinate people but literally nothing about getting vaccinated ourselves. Our dean of the COM sent an email that says "COVID Vaccine Update: Banner University Medicine Division – Tucson leadership understands team members may have many questions around vaccine options in the coming weeks. They are working closely with system and local leaders to ensure they are communicating with the BUMD-T team and will keep us updated on the vaccine distribution plan. In the coming days, colleagues who are in the highest tier of priority will start receiving e-mail from a Banner Health corporate account. Embedded in that mail are links to a survey to review key demographic and medical history information that in turn will facilitate optimized scheduling. The links and surveys and the order in which the letters are issued is personalized to the colleague. It is important not to forward those emails but rather to complete the survey for yourself. While this is an exciting milestone in this pandemic, it is important to note that the measures that have been put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (such as socially distancing, masking and hand hygiene) still need to occur, even after receiving the vaccine, as the vaccine is not 100% effective against the virus and will take time to disperse to the communities we serve."	UA-COMT literally began the school year in 2020 without testing students who came back after the summer. MS1s had no choice on whether they wanted to be virtual or not. No med student has EVER required to be covid tested in order to be in clinical settings. MS1s and MS2s have been in the hospital seeing patients for bedside with no N95s... pretty much cloth mask and face shields to practice giving physical exams on people. The school never reached out and asked if we had chronic illnesses or risk factors for bad covid outcomes. Overall the response to covid has been absolutely terrible. They even had a photoshoot in mid-July asking students to pose with masks on for a marketing campaign... pretty much while Arizona was the highest in the WORLD for covid cases.
10	University of Arizona - Tucson	AZ	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	I got the vaccine on 12/28, only 2 weeks after the beginning of the effort. We found out on 12/24. Our student dean really worked hard to make sure we would be included.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure, I'm an M4
11	University of Arizona - Tucson	AZ	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure	Yes	High	MS1s were able to get the vaccine as early as Jan 6th and there were plenty of slots available. A large portion of the class has now received the first dose and is scheduled for the second dose.
12	California Northstate University	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Two options at our school. Personally received in early Jan through Kaiser Norcal. (1) Offered by Kaiser NorCal for M3/M4 CNU students who are insured through Kaiser; we have clinical rotations with Kaiser NorCal. (2) School+student body organized vaccine clinic. Doses reserved for all M3/M4 students and student vaccine clinic to be held throughout Jan.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	n/a. I'm a current M4 with no knowledge of pre-clinical side.
13	California Northstate Universtity	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	High	School is currently negotiating with county to receive vaccines for at least MS3 4	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/A
14	Kaiser Permanente (Tyson)	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	Medium	We are tier 2 in receiving the vaccine	Yes	Medium	We are tier 2 in receiving the vaccine
15	Loma Linda University	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Unsure / Unknown	on 12/21 new email stated that medical students can either opt-in or opt-out to seeing COVID patients WITH OR WITHOUT A VACCINE.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	not sure	The school has left us an open option for unvaccinated medical students to see COVID patients. They're also expecting us to act an emergency scribes. Also, no we are not getting paid. And no, there is no clear vaccine schedules for MS3's or MS4's.
16	Loma Linda University	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Unsure / Unknown	no information given, but received word we can "opt-in" to see covid patients as well as talk about being "emergency scribes" without pay and vaccine distributors.	No	Low	N/A
17	Loma Linda University	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	Medium	Communication was poor at first, which resulted in the other posts. However, this was resolved the first week of January.	Yes	Medium	We were all able to receive the vaccine after the MS3s/MS4s received it, around the same time that it was made available to the campus in general.	Transparency issues were apparently a problem in December, as MS3s and MS4s felt that they were being asked to see COVID patients without vaccination after Christmas break. However, they all had the opportunity to get vaccinated the first week of January, so that issue should have been resolved. The rest of the university was eligible to get it starting in the second week of school.
18	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Medium	Some MS3's have gotten the vaccine who are on high risk rotations, MS4's and the rest of MS3's have been told it will happen within the month	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	unsure	Students had to request updates about vaccines from admin about status of COVID-19 surge in general. Lack of transparency on who gets the vaccine and why
19	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Medium	After asking the school for updates, they still have no date set for us. Some MS3s and MS4s have been able to get the vaccine (either by luckily not being turned away or because certain IORs added a small list of students' names to be eligible for the vaccine). Otherwise the majority of us are being turned away, even if we're on high risk rotations (i.e. ED).	Unsure / Other	Low	Will receive after MS3s and 4s, but little communication.	There is currently a lack of transparency, and even after asking for updates we get vague "soon" timelines. Random MS3s and 4s are able to get vaccinated if they were in the right place at the right time. The vaccinations are not happening based on risk, as exemplified by the fact that students currently rotating in the ED are being turned away.
20	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Asap	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/a
21	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Weekly townhalls and medical students are in the highest tier for vaccinations	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
22	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	Got first dose within 1 week of vaccine rollout.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure what preclinical years are up to.
23	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	E-mail was sent yesterday (12/21) that all clinical students will be able to get the vaccine.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	I'm unsure as I'm a 4th year.	Yes, pretty transparent and making sure to include all groups that may be impacted.
24	UC Davis	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	Already have started receiving vaccines as off 12/21	Yes	Medium	Already have started receiving vaccines as off 12/21
25	UC Irvine	CA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	We’ve already started receiving the vaccine!	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
26	UC Riverside	CA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	No	Low	Paraphrasing: We are advocating for you to get it as soon as possible but we don't have any updates at this time. Our own health system doesn't have the vaccine yet and our clinical partners are prioritizing front line health workers	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	.
27	UC San Diego	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	Medical and pharmacy students doing clinical rotations are in Phase 1a, Tier 1b and will have received an invitation to schedule their COVID vaccine by January 10th if they haven't already.	Yes	High	MS1/2s have a mandatory Ambulatory Care Apprenticeship that will put them in patient-facing clinics and hospitals, and many electives have in-person components like this as well, so it's important pre-clinical medical students are not spreading COVID to vulnerable patient populations. MS1/2s were all invited to schedule an appointment to receive their first dose over winter break, and most people got vaccinated the first week back in January.	The health system seems to be prioritizing appropriately, I haven't heard any complaints. We were explicitly told that medical students are getting vaccinated ahead of non-patient-facing staff/faculty. Additionally, UCSD appears to be receiving enough vaccines to immunize all healthcare staff by the end of January which is nice.
28	UC San Diego	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	Medium	January	Yes	Medium	January
29	UC San Diego	CA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	Yes	Low	We are literally last on the list, behind admin and all out patient	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	UKN
30	UC San Francisco	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	First wave	Yes	High	First wave
31	UC San Francisco	CA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	All clinical students are prioritized in Phase Ia of vaccine distribution.	Yes	High	All preclinical students are also in Phase Ia of vaccine distribution.
32	UC San Francisco	CA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	Clinical students have started getting vaccinated as part of group B within Phase 1A	Yes	High	Preclinical students will be vaccinated as part of group D within Phase 1A	Residents and frontline workers (including custodial staff in high-risk floors) have all been prioritized. Communication has been extremely transparent, and there is even an internal dashboard to track how many people in each priority tier have been vaccinated so far.
33	University of Southern California (Keck)	CA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	No	No	We are in the "first tier" to be immunized along with healthcare workers but healthcare workers are being immunized at this moment while we have yet to hear anything back. Apparently the school was asked to "submit the number of medical students" to the University...	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unknown	We are literally in the epicenter of this pandemic and it is discouraging to not hear anything back from the school while, clearly, other schools have their stuff together and are already getting vaccinated.
34	University of Alberta	Canada (Alberta)	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	No	Nothing	No	No	Nothing
35	University of British Columbia	Canada (BC)	MD	MS2/OMS2	Negatively	No	Medium	Nothing	No	Low	Nothing
36	University of Manitoba	Canada (Manitoba)	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Unsure / Other	Medium	We should hopefully be vaccinated early in the new year. We haven’t been seeing COVID+ patients at this point. Our province has stated anyone assigned to be deployed at vaccine sites will be among the first vaccinated, which may include medical students and nursing students if needed.	Unsure / Other	Medium	If they are working at a vaccine site they will be high priority, otherwise they will be regular priority as they don’t see patients at that level of training.	Our school is giving information to student leadership as soon as it becomes available. Our province is having limited supply for now so has dedicated the first shipment to ICU/acute care plus age over XX. Which by default excludes most residents, but logically makes sense with the extremely limited supply we have so far. There has been no line drawn in the sand for different designation of care provider (ie Nurse vs resident, Vs MD vs RT) only based on assignment location and age.
37	American University of Antigua	Carib (Antigua)	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	No	Unsure / Unknown	There have currently been no communication between the administration and the student body as of 12/21/20	No	Low	Have not received any communication regarding vaccine
38	St. George’s University	Carib (Grenada)	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	No	No	Nothing	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
39	University of Colorado SOM	CO	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	MS4s who volunteered in COVID units (non-direct patient care/assisted medical teams) were offered vaccines with residents (first/second week of allocation). All MS3s and MS4s offered sign ups at various clinical sites starting on 12/29. All health professional students will have the option for their first dose by 2/1. CO is still in 1A with certain systems piloting to 1B cohorts (elderly) and starting EMS vaccinations.	Yes	High	All students contacted week of 12/28. Slower roll-out for MS1s and MS2s (many are out of state for winter break right now), but still prioritized by the school and health system partners to be offered first dose by 2/1.	Residents and frontline workers are being prioritized. Medical students (and all 2000+ health professional students) are being prioritized as frontline. Vaccinations will not be mandatory. Both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been allocated/distributed to students and frontline workers. Seems to be good cooperation from UCHealth (majority of students seem to be receiving vax from here). Some lag at other sites, but this seems to be more from logistical restraints not exclusionary towards students.
40	Frank H Netter MD School of Medicine	CT	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	Have already received	Yes	Medium	Everyone got the email from VAMS on Mon, Jan 4th, 2021
41	Frank H. Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University	CT	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	M3s and M4s were in the first wave submitted for vaccination access per the email we received, so they should all have access to the sign-up link by now. The only ones potentially not receiving the vaccine right now are M4s out of the state. They can get the vaccine when they return to CT, but if they’re in a state not using the same vaccine administration system as the one in CT then the school can’t do much to get them priority access.	Yes	High	We received several emails essentially saying “sit tight, we’re working on it and we’ll update you” up until they had more information for us at the end of December. At that point we were informed students were going to be submitted for access to vaccination in waves based on their risk of exposure to covid patients (we normally do weekly clinical placements starting in October of M1, so the first wave was M3s/M4s and M1s/M2s placed in inpatient settings, then later waves with all of the M1s/M2s placed in outpatient settings). At this point I believe most, if not all, of us have received the link to sign up for vaccination.	I appreciate how hard the school has worked to make vaccinating us a reality! As much as we all love to complain, Netter admin seem to go to bat for their students more often than not. From what I can tell, they reached out to a bunch of our clinical partners/DPH/whoever they thought they needed to so that they could ensure we get the vaccines in a timely manner, which is awesome. All in all, I think most of my classmates are pretty happy with our decision to come to Netter!
42	Quinnipiac University (Netter)	CT	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	No	Unsure / Unknown	Minimal communication. "In active discussion with clinical partners" which, is best interpreted as no priority. Seems like a lot of emails between administration with a few trickling to SGA while majority of students are kept in the dark. I'd be fine with them saying we don't get priority since we have only affiliated hospitals but the lack of transparency is frustrating.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	n/a
43	UCONN SOM	CT	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	Already getting vaccinated	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unknown
44	University of Connecticut	CT	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	MS3 and MS4 students are part of the “1a” priority group and will be vaccinated in January with students on ED, ICU, and medicine floors being prioritized.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/A
45	Yale	CT	MD		Positively	Yes	High	Starts end of December, prob sometime in Jan	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
46	Yale	CT	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	We'll be getting the vaccine ASAP - 12/19/2020 we were told last week to expect an email anytime soon to fill out a time to get it. I'm an M2 and anticipate getting it in the next month because we'll be in clinic this semester.	Yes	Medium	M2s are prioritized with M3/M4s because we're in clinic too. I don't think M1s are highly prioritized, but I'm not sure	Yale has done a really good job with communicating with students. We get weekly updates, it gets brought up with the dean meetings and then the info is given to our class, deans will respond to emails and take COVID exposures very seriously. We have access to free testing 1x/week off-campus, 2x/week on campus. There was a COVID relief fund that gave money and was a easy process to navigate if you needed it. Our exams were scheduled with COVID in mind - for ex. a spring exam that is notorious for 30% of the class failing was made to be easier so only 5ish students failed. It's not perfect but looking at other schools YSM has done a good job in terms of COVID response and vaccination.
47	George Washington University	DC	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Low	Emailed that they'd give people vaccines but then renegged, now unknown when we will get vaccines "Dear Students, It has come to our attention that some of you have inadvertently received communication that you have an upcoming appointment to receive the vaccine. This communication was sent in error. Please disregard that communication. The rollout of the vaccine at GW is following DC Department of Health guidelines for prioritization of the vaccine administration for health care workers. We hope that all of our health care professionals, staff and trainees will have access to the vaccine over the ensuing weeks. I hope that you are staying safe and well during this time. Best wishes for a happy holiday season. Sincerely, Richard J. Simons MD MACP FRCP"	No	No	No communication
48	George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences	DC	MD	MS2/OMS2	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	n/a	No	Low	MS2, no guarantee that we will receive the vaccination in time for MS3 (April). Initially we were told we would receive the vaccine as part of 1a, since we on a 1.5 year curriculum and will start MS3 soon. Was told to expect an email in early January with logistics and instead was given a vague response with no timeline: "Vaccines will be distributed as quickly as possible to students as shipments arrive and you will receive an email to sign up for an appointment. If, however, you wish to get the vaccine through a different means, and you meet the criteria and guidelines of that program, that is also acceptable." One of the physician executives in our faculty group told us (paraphrasing) "if you can get it elsewhere faster, by all means, go through them." The lack of transparency has been frustrating.	Most of us have been going through DC Health, which has plenty of appointments available and allows any healthcare worker to receive the vaccine. The school has given us virtual no information and our hospital appears to have been under-allocated doses relative to other DC hospitals.
49	Georgetown University	DC	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	MS3s and MS4s will get vaccinated after high exposure and high risk employees are vaccinated (ICU, CCU, RT, Etc.)	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/A
50	Howard University	DC	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Unsure / Unknown	nothing has been shared to the student body on a whole - when individuals reach out to admin they have been told that students will get more information once the administration has more information ....	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	n/a
51	Florida Atlantic University (Schmidt)	FL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	No	Don’t get exposed to COVID and fill out the biweekly attestation saying you don’t have symptoms or we’ll send you to the disciplinary committee.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/A
52	Florida Atlantic University (Schmidt)	FL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	Medium	Email saying clinical students will likely be vaccinated in january	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
53	Florida State University School of Medicine	FL	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	Medium	email	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	.
54	University of Florida	FL	MD	MS2/OMS2	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	na	No	Low	promised vaccine certain weeks and not given it, no transparency. blaming state when other FL med students have received it in preclinical years.	preclinical students see SPs, inpatients, every week, and do 2 weeks in the hospital/clinic
55	University of Miami (Miller)	FL	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	Tier 1	Yes	High	Right after MS3/4s
56	University of South Florida (Morsani)	FL	MD		Positively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	"It is anticipated that it will be some time before enough vaccine supply will be available to provide to groups who are not front line workers. I imagine it will be at least mid-January before we know what the distribution plan will be for USF – and probably at least February before we start vaccinating students. One other thing to keep in mind – as the vaccines are approved for emergency use, people will not be REQUIRED to have the vaccine."	Yes	Low	"It is anticipated that it will be some time before enough vaccine supply will be available to provide to groups who are not front line workers. I imagine it will be at least mid-January before we know what the distribution plan will be for USF – and probably at least February before we start vaccinating students. One other thing to keep in mind – as the vaccines are approved for emergency use, people will not be REQUIRED to have the vaccine."
57	University of South Florida (Morsani)	FL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Low	"I’m sure you are curious about plans for the COVID vaccine for you. USF has created an emergency operations task force to determine vaccination schedules for all of USF (faculty, staff, students). They are working hard to identify the best process. I’m sure you know TGH received a shipment of the Pfizer vaccines – these are for front line workers, and for distribution to other local hospitals as well as other high risk sites. It is anticipated that it will be some time before enough vaccine supply will be available to provide to groups who are not front line workers. I imagine it will be at least mid-January before we know what the distribution plan will be for USF – and probably at least February before we start vaccinating students." However, students are continuing to rotate through the ICU/ED etc and have been exposed to COVID via patients and other staff. Despite the policy of "not seeing COVID patients" inadvertent exposures continue to occur. Additionally, non-clinical faculty such as the dean have been prioritized to receive the vaccine already while students are designated as having to wait due to not being frontline.	Unsure / Other	Low	same as above	Residents are being prioritized which is definitely a positive. Transparency appears minimal given the lack of details or substance surrounding what the vaccine schedule is. There is clearly already a schedule given that the dean and other faculty are receiving the vaccine already.
58	Emory University	GA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Georgia has classified medical students in clinical as first line. There is no set timeline, however.	Yes	Low	Only medical students on clinicals will be vaccinated in the first wave.
59	Emory University	GA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Null	No	No	"Sometime in 2021"
60	Emory University	GA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	No exact timeline given as it is not known yet, but they let us know that med students are included in Tier 1a along with paid and unpaid healthcare workers	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	unsure
61	Emory University	GA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	No	Low	That we are part of priority group 1A which encompasses all clinical-facing healthcare workers and we can expect the vaccine “in 2021”	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	I’m an MS3
62	Emory University	GA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Low	We will be vaccinated at some point. The state has classified clinical medical students as tier 1a. No information about where we are on the list or when that will happen. I’m in the ED starting Jan 4 and have been given no indication I will be vaccinated.	No	No	I as an M4 haven’t had much communication about them but it appears they will be treated as lay people	IM Residents and residents in general seem to have high priority at Grady. Students are affiliated with Emory and it is unclear when or if we will be vaccinated
63	Emory University	GA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	All clinical students have now been given access to vaccines.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/a
64	Medical College of Georgia	GA	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	N/A	Yes	Medium	First week of January
65	Medical College of Georgia	GA	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	Almost all have at least the first dose, many have had the second.	Yes	High	Most have already received the first shot.	The school has been surprisingly great about getting us the vaccine, getting us tested, and allowing exposed/positive students to participate from home.
66	Mercer University	GA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	High	Already received my vaccine	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
67	Morehouse	GA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	We have all gained access	No	Low	Nothing
68	Morehouse	GA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	No	Nothing, yet our Dean got it on CNN with Sanjay Gupta...	No	No	Nothing
69	University of Iowa	IA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	No	Low	They don't know. They didn't prioritize us or advocate for students. Shame on Iowa.	No	Low	They don't know.	No transparency.
70	University of Iowa (Carver)	IA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Positively	Yes	Medium	Those in clerkships will start receiving their vaccines in 4 weeks.	Yes	Low	MS2 Students will be starting clerkship soon and have medium priority (will start in 4 weeks) as far as I know. MS1s at lower priority since everything is remote.	I'm very happy with the outcome at my institution. I've heard stories of other schools and it makes me appreciate the response here from start to finish.
71	University of Iowa (Carver)	IA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	No	Low	No word for about a month. Recently received communication that the school "does not know" when they will be vaccinating clinical students, but hopes they will start sometime in the next 4 weeks (end of January). Based on the tentative plan discussed at a hospital-wide meeting, students were in the last phase of the plan behind all other hospital staff and those working at satellite locations.	No	Low	No communication yet
72	University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine	IA	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	Unsure / Other	Low	We were told in mid-December that clinical students would start getting vaccinated in another 4 weeks (so mid January). Then in early January we were told to expect to have to wait another 4 weeks (so early February). Other communication has suggested that the hospital will not be vaccinating us, and we will have to wait for Student Health to have vaccines. There has been very inconsistent and vague messaging.	No	No	None that I'm aware of	I would characterize my school's communication about vaccinating students as incredibly poor. The only times we have gotten any communication (even if it was incredibly vague) was when lots of students, including our student body president, have reached out multiple times to get them to give us any sort of update.
73	Carle Illinois College of Medicine	IL	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	Medical students are being vaccinated the week of 12/21	Yes	High	Pre-clinical students are getting vaccinated the same week as M3s and M4s (not saying this as a bad thing)	We have been in-person for most of the pandemic. UIUC invented the saliva test for COVID so we have been able to safely attend class by getting tested twice a week. COVID cases among medical students (and UIUC students in general) have been very low compared to other universities. Data has shown that students have not been transmitting COVID to one another. Majority of new cases have been coming from the community. I think our medical school has arguably done the best job at handling the pandemic in terms of testing, keeping students safe while prioritizing learning, and now vaccinations.

77	Northwestern University (Feinberg)	IL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Unsure / Other	Medium	We went through the same sign up portal as the rest of the hospital employees. They sent it out at 11pm at night with no warning. The system crashed out from many people trying to sign up at once. I managed to get a slot for the vaccine solely because I was willing to drive 1h one way for both doses to one of our outlying satellite hospitals (note: we don't rotate here. I had no idea we owned that hospital). That being said, once I showed up, it went really well and easily. Grateful to have the vaccine, but definitely acknowledge the only reason I got it is because I had a car and schedule flexibility, which wasn't true for most of my classmates.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	No idea, not a preclinical student
78	Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago	IL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	Medium	MS3 and MS4s are able to get the vaccine since we are considered "HCWs." Unclear if we would have been prioritized if there were less dosages but nurses have been turning them down so there are a lot more available than originally expected. We also have a small medical school so adding us on is not as huge of a burden as it is at other schools.	Yes	Low	Unclear what official status was at the beginning, but given # of vaccines our hospital received there seemed to be enough for the MS1s and MS2s to be vaccinated.	Internal rumblings between MS3s and admin about when they would receive the vaccine as many MS3s were seeing COVID+ patients. One dean apparently said students were being "selfish" and "unprofessional" for inquiring when they would be receiving the vaccine/wanting to be in the first wave. Med school admin/hospital had previously stated that only students (in any year) who "volunteered to give vaccine" could receive the vaccine...the issue of "coercion" came up. However, the hospital separately sent out communications to all the medical students saying they could receive it over holiday break so it quickly became a mute point.
79	Rosalind Franklin University (Chicago)	IL	MD	MS4/OMS4	Negatively	Unsure / Other	No	Dean is working with the local public health department to see if they will vaccinate us, but "it could be weeks, it could be months." They told us to sign-up on a form the local Public Health Dept. has on their website.	Unsure / Other	No	as above

81	Southern Illinois University School of Medicine	IL	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	Email sent out Jan 1st to all students states M2-M4 will be vaccinated Jan 8th	Yes	High	Email sent out Jan 1st to all students states M2-M4 will be vaccinated Jan 8th. M1s are three hours away in a different city, so not sure of the plan for them.
82	University of Chicago (Pritzker)	IL	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	In first wave	Yes	Low	We are in the last group of healthcare workers since we are currently not seeing patients
83	University of Illinois	IL	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	Medium	Survey was sent to all students (M1-M4) early December to gauge overall interest in receiving a vaccine. Clinical students are considered healthcare personnel (Tier 1) and will likely be vaccinated at their rotation sites.	Yes	Low	Survey was sent to all students (M1-M4) early December to gauge overall interest in receiving a vaccine. The school recognizes that many preclinical students are out of town and are looking to optimize vaccine delivery for dates that are amenable for the most people.
84	University of Illinois - Chicago (UIC)	IL	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	No	No	Nothing.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
85	University of Illinois College of medicine	IL	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	Medium	We are in tier 1 level 5 for receiving vaccination. The hope is that we will be able to be vaccinated in early January with the next shipment. The school sent out an email to the student body (with student input) regarding whether they would like to be vaccinated and if they are in a higher risk group or live with higher risk individuals. Weekly updates sent out.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Possible higher priority for early clinical exposure students (eg M1s rather M2s studying for step)	Our college has 3 campuses. One has UI health who was given the vaccine directly. The other 2 campuses have to work with their affiliate hospitals to get students vaccines. Admin is pushing for students to get vaccines.
86	Loyola (Stritch)	Illinois	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	M1-m4 now have access to vaccine and have to schedule appointment.	Yes	High	We received an email 2 days ago saying they have enough vaccine for us.
87	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	They have hosted town halls and released official communication on how third and fourth years are in higher priority to receive vaccines. They’ve also said to look out for emails to schedule the vaccine appointments. Several students are already receiving vaccines.	No	No	MS1s will eventually receive vaccines if they are administering the vaccine after all frontline professionals have received vaccines. MS2s have higher priority than MS1s since they will start rotations soon.	Very transparent about the vaccine and are prioritizing residents and frontline workers.
88	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	All ms3/4s received email about signing up for a time and day to receive a vaccine. Some have already gotten them	Yes	Medium	Our school gave the option for MS1/2 to volunteer to give vaccines. Those who volunteered and went through training will get the vaccine
89	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	I can't speak to specifics, but I know an M3 that's gotten the vaccine and everyone seems to be getting them at the same proportion to others in healthcare.	Yes	Low	Not in the first wave, but admin is apparently working with state to figure out timing. I'm assuming we'll land in with the general population. Also of note, a huge portion of M1/2s have signed up to administer the vaccine, and will be getting higher priority for vaccination, after the frontline healthcare workers get theirs.	All things considered, I think IU has done a pretty good job on Covid for students. This might not work if you don't have an IU email, but we had a town hall recently that covered everything really well. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IkPjlGTGyZYeCefwfI588yUrLvr3bj192ex3Jy8APJk/edit
90	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Have already received vaccine. Available to all clinical students. Preclinical students have helped provide vaccine to receive it.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	ass
91	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	Got an email with link to schedule and many classmates have already received vaccine and scheduled their second dose.	Yes	Medium	Given priority if leftover vaccines available after all 1A personnel.
92	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS3/OMS3	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	High	Communicated that clinical students will get vaccine along with residents, physicians, and other high risk hospital staff	Yes	Low	Some getting vaccinated so they can give vaccines to students and hospital employees
93	Indiana University	IN	MD	MS1/OMS1	Positively	Yes	High	They got the same priority as other healthcare workers in the state	Unsure / Other	Medium	MS1s and MS2s volunteering to administer vaccines have been able to get the vaccine.They said in a town hall that other students should be at a higher priority than the general public, but nothing definite.
94	Indiana University School of Medicine	IN	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	.	Yes	High	Most of us are volunteering in the vaccine clinics, so that’s why we’re being prioritized
95	University of Kansas - Wichita	Kansas	MD	MS2/OMS2	Positively	Yes	High	Dean talked to chief medical officers at associated hospitals about students on rotation as accidental exposures have occurred (pt results not back yet, pt tests positive while in hospital, etc). CMO asked for in patient M3 and m4 to be sent to the vaccine set up clinic. All other were told by end of January, and then got email dec 23 that all med students who wanted to could go to county health dept. If they missed that, second shipment can get any students not vaccinated as well.	Yes	Medium	Originally told by end of school year and priority for this group was M2s before clinical rotations began in June. Then received word over winter break to show up at county health dept dec 23 to get first shot if in town. If not available, can get first shot in next shipment.	Hospital systems prioritized ICU staff and residents. Our resident programs that see covid pts were vaccinated before students. They've been very transparent with us. On a county level, the CMOs and public health officers seem to have decided medical students fall into a "health care personnel potential exposure" category which puts us higher on priority but not highest obviously. I feel very well informed and cared for. We have 3 campuses and they decided to go ahead and just vaccinate everyone as fast as possible locally. I believe the Salina campus is already done as well. Our Deans were advocating for us on a state level because the state distribution plan completely ignored healthcare students which I am sure is not uncommon, but they tried to being it into the discussion to ensure we werent forgotten as people providing care and being exposed.

97	University of Kentucky	KY	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	Yes	Low	They will be prioritizing healthcare workers in high risk settings (i.e. ICU), but do not include medical students in this cohort. They did not inform us when we will be getting vaccinated but seemed to lump us in with all UK students at the beginning of the announcement.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unknown
98	University of Louisville	KY	MD	MS3/OMS3	Negatively	Yes	No	They said February sometime but nothing concrete is in place.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	N/A	They said sometime in February. However, the school's medical programs are split between multiple hospitals that are not all related, and as such, residents have not even been prioritized for vaccination while non-frontline hospital staff are getting vaccinated. Even local area pharmacy students have been vaccinated earlier, and med students have been invited to help monitor patients after vaccinations.
99	Louisiana State University - New Orleans	LA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Positively	Yes	High	The school itself will administer vaccines to students in mid January. We can currently get the vaccine at atleast one of our partner hospitals.	Yes	Unsure / Unknown	Unsure
100	Louisiana State University - New Orleans	LA	MD	MS4/OMS4	Somewhere in between / No opinion	Yes	Medium	Some clinical sites are prioritizing vaccinating students but not all. Admin have emphasized we should not be traveling to sites that we are not rotating at if the site we are at isn’t offering students vaccines. The school itself is unsure of exactly when they will have vaccines for students.	Unsure / Other	Unsure / Unknown	Unknown
