United State Department of Defense (DoD) policy currently requires that all service members be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. In order to ensure the safety of Academy personnel and other members of the Class of 2026, you must arrive on In-Processing Day, June 23, 2022, either fully vaccinated or with an approved exemption/accommodation. Fully vaccinated is defined as 14 days after completion of the final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

There is an option to apply for a medical exemption or religious accommodation. To pursue this option, you need to begin the process immediately by contacting Academy Admissions at AdmissionsPreAccessionExemptions@facademy.af.edu. It is imperative that you begin immediately to ensure that it is processed in a timely manner. Appointees who receive their offers on or before April 8, 2022 must report their vaccination status in their portal by April 15, 2022. Appointees receiving their offers after April 8, 2022 will have 7 days to report their vaccination status. Failure to complete the process could result in your appointment being withdrawn. Appointments and nominations cannot be carried over to the next class year.

By the deadlines outlined above, all appointees must notify Academy Admissions (via your portal Appointee Kit beginning April I, 2022) whether you are:

a. Fully vaccinated and will submit proof of vaccination immediately

b. Not yet fully vaccinated, but will be by June 1, 2022 and will submit proof of vaccination NLT June I, 2022

c. Not fully vaccinated and will request an exemption or accommodation

Proof of “Fully Vaccinated Status” or an approved accommodation/exemption must be reported to USAFA Admissions via the Admissions Portal NLT 1 June 2022. Failure to do so will result in withdrawal of your appointment.

Not to be overly picky, but please be very careful when posting things with a digital signature. The signer's DoDID number is in there and that's not a good thing to have floating around on the internet.
Please, be picky.

This memo was distributed by USAFA. I'll let them know about the DoD number in the digital signature.
Not sure how I can change the current post, though.
