Feb. 3, 2021- Postdoc Return to Campus Update
COVID-19 public dashboard launches today
The spring COVID-19 public dashboard has launched and includes the results of our arrival testing program for students from Jan. 10 to Jan. 30, 2021.
- Dashboard will be updated every Wednesday.
- Each week’s numbers will include tests and results from Sunday to Saturday of the previous week.
COVID-19 testing app now available
The free Safer Community app is now available for download for those participating in the asymptomatic testing program. While it is not required, we recommend using it for a quicker check-in process.
- It will expedite testing center check-in and viewing of test results.
- Use your Vanderbilt email address when registering. You will be guided to the university’s single sign-on as a part of the registration process.
Learn more on the Safer Community app resource page.

Individuals who do not have campus permits can park in Parking Lot 27.
- The lot has been designated as no ticket/no tow for those parking for testing.

Tents to open at full capacity beginning Thursday

- Tents will open at full capacity beginning Thursday, Feb. 4.

COVID-19 vaccination leave policy
With the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, we also want to share our COVID-19 vaccination leave policy, which allows for time to be taken off to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We encourage all members of the Vanderbilt community to get the vaccine when it becomes available to them.
