Accordingly, individuals who are seeking an accommodation must make a request to both AACC and to the clinical site and must be granted an accommodation by both in order to participate.
该学院鼓励所有人通过接种增强剂或额外剂量的COVID-19疫苗来保持最新状态. At this time, however, those who are already fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to be vaccinated with a booster or additional dose to comply with the college’s COVID-19 Policy and Procedure. 然而，临床现场可能需要加强剂或额外剂量. 如果有要求，学生或员工必须遵守才能参加.

AACC will not consider naturally occurring COVID-19 antibodies as a reason to grant a medical accommodation or medical deferral at this time. 美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)建议，即使你已经感染了COVID-19, you should get vaccinated because research has not yet shown how long you may be protected after you recover and vaccination helps protect you even if you’ve already had COVID-19. A number of studies have shown that individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 may be better protected against future infections than those individuals who were previously infected with COVID-19.
虽然围绕COVID-19感染诱导的免疫和自然产生的抗体的科学正在发展, there is not enough evidence for the college to consider infection-induced immunity or naturally occurring antibodies as sufficient to reduce exposure to, or reinfection from, COVID-19. Studies have found that many individuals who were previously infected with COVID-19 have not acquired effective immunity to COVID-19 and when individuals do acquire some level of protection, 有证据表明，防护水平可能取决于个人感染的严重程度.
While some studies have indicated that infection-induced immunity may provide a significant level of protection against reinfection, these studies suffer from methodological limitations that make those studies inconclusive regarding the level of immunity from having previously had COVID-19. 科学证据尚未对保护程度提供合理程度的确定性, if any, 从先前的感染中提供给特定个体的. Accordingly, 学院不会将先前感染视为免予学院审查的依据 COVID-19 Policy and Procedure. AACC在做出这一决定时还咨询了安妮阿伦德尔县卫生局.
