Course: Routine Surveillance and Vaccination on a University Campus During the Spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant
CME Credits: 1.00
Released: 2022-05-18
As SARS-CoV-2 was detected in the US, emergency public health measures took effect, including shutting down schools. As prevention and control measures improved, emergency response policies were rolled back. Cornell University opened for residential instruction in Fall 2021 using an extensive testing, contact tracing, and isolation program in partnership with the Tompkins County Health Department (). Vaccination was mandated for all students and encouraged for employees. Masks were required on-campus, and isolation orders and contact tracing occurred within hours of any positive result. We hypothesized that these measures would limit COVID-19 spread on campus and sought to monitor this with a case-series study of university testing records.
