What are the differences between the COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Attestation credentials?
IntelliCentrics has teamed with our entire healthcare community to help stop the continued spread of COVID-19 (and other disease). IntelliCentrics' SEC3URE COVID-19 technologies enables trust between healthcare professionals like yourself and the facilities you connect with. The facilities you interact with are requesting different actions to ensure everyone is compliant with all COVID-19 response policies. The two COVID-19 credentials and check-in questionnaire were developed through healthcare community standards and guidelines.
The COVID-19 Vaccine Credential is required only when you are eligible and available. The requirement is also flexible with single-dose and two-dose regiment depending on manufacturer. In the meantime, facilities will request healthcare professionals read, accept, and adhere to the protocols described in the COVID-19 Attestation Credential. On every check-in, you will be asked if you are experiencing any of the recognized COVID-19 symptoms.
What it is:
COVID-19 vaccine(s), authorized by the FDA and recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), are recommended for healthcare personnel entering facilities providing medical and/or personal care. The CDC defines healthcare personnel as "paid and unpaid persons serving in healthcare settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials." All written requests for medical or religious exemptions will be forwarded to the individual facility for review and acceptance.
What we accept:
IntelliCentrics follows the CDC's vaccination recommendations for those who work in a healthcare environment:
Proof of a completed series of COVID-19 vaccination(s) received at the manufacturer's recommended interval. Users will be considered compliant with this credential while shot series is in progress. All vaccine dates must be clearly documented from a medical professional showing name of vendor, name of medical professional and/or clinic and, preferably, address and phone.
If the facility allows: A signed electronic declination found on the SEC3URE website.
Please acknowledge the statements below indicating you have received and understand the information provided:
I acknowledge I am required to wear a mask at all times while in a facility. Masks may be provided by the facility, my employer or myself based on individual facility policy.
If I use a type of respirator in the facility that forms a tight fit on the wearer’s face, I acknowledge OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requires annual respirator fit testing to confirm the fit before use. I acknowledge I must be able to provide documentation that I have been properly trained and fit tested within the previous 12 months. Documentation of fit testing must include name, date of testing, overall fit factor, make, model, style and size of respirator used.
I acknowledge I am entering a facility in which known/possible COVID-19 infected individuals may be present and accept the risks and responsibilities associated with possible exposure.

I agree to seek out and comply with local, state and regional infection prevention policies and follow facility-specific infection prevention precautions such as hand washing, social distancing, and respecting restricted areas.
I acknowledge it is my responsibility to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and self-quarantine when applicable. I agree to abide by CDC/facility-specific return-to-work criteria if I am diagnosed with (or suspected of having) COVID-19.
I acknowledge I am required to check in and out via SEC3URE at every visit to facilitate symptom screening and/or contact exposure tracing, if applicable, and will demonstrate compliance by way of electronic, mobile or paper badge.
I acknowledge the extent of effort taken to prepare patients for procedures in a COVID-19 environment and will provide ALL the supplies/equipment/devices required of me in a timely and reliable manner.
