Getting vaccinated prevents severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. Unvaccinated people should get vaccinated and continue masking indoors once fully vaccinated. With the Delta variant, this is more urgent than ever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have release updated guidance for vaccinated people based on new research on the Delta variant. To reduce personal risk and protect our community, we strongly urge every member of our community to be fully vaccinated. Schedule an appointment at MyTurn.ca.gov.

The Kern Community College District has mandated a vaccine requirement across all three colleges. CC students and employees will be required to provide proof of first vaccination by September 7 and proof of full vaccination by November 1. If you are not taking any face-to-face courses or accessing in-person student services, you do not need to provide proof of vaccination.
