We recommend setting the COVID-19 Vaccine credential requirement for all health professional categories connected with your facilities. It is a total solution that meets compliance objectives while simultaneously considering every individual’s unique circumstances when interacting with your location of care. For example, individuals fortunate enough to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can rely upon their SEC³URE Passport to instantly communicate their status to our entire community. Meanwhile, each location of care can take comfort in knowing their policy requirements are met whether vaccines are a single immunization or a double.

The SEC³URE COVID-19 Vaccination Credential:

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:

1. 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.
2. If the facility allows: A signed electronic declination found on the SEC³URE website.

COVID-19 Vaccine Settings

As of June 2023, the CDC established a single COVID-19 vaccination as satisfying the original series requirements for COVID-19 vaccines. SEC³URE tracks COVID-19 vaccinations including boosters (along with the shot date and manufacturer). Any dose received before August 31, 2022 was the two-dose to be compliant for the COVID-19 credential requirement.

SEC³URE provides facilities with the flexibility to configure COVID-19 vaccination interval and grace days dates between your healthcare professional's COVID-19 shots. To allow some flexibility, you can set an additional 14 days grace period before the individual shows as "outstanding" for the COVID-19 vaccine credential. Please refer to all vaccine manufacturer and CDC vaccine recommendations for guidance.

You may also include a Booster Shot Required for Compliance setting to require a recurring COVID-19 booster vaccination for every six (6) months.

We recommend setting the COVID-19 Attestation credential requirement for every category of healthcare professional connected with your facilities. The connected healthcare professionals will be required to read and then accept the medical health and safety guidelines detailed in the attestation. This attestation requirement follows current COVID-19 protocols and guidelines:

The SEC³URE Standard COVID-19 Attestation:

Please acknowledge the statements below indicating you have received and understand the information provided:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. I acknowledge exposure to transmissible respiratory pathogens can be reduced or possibly avoided through the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and I acknowledge I have been trained and have adequate understanding of the use of PPE including donning and doffing.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.

The healthcare professional will either ACCEPT or CANCEL (decline) the attestation.

We recommend enabling the COVID-19 Questionnaire for every healthcare professional visiting your facility. Upon check-in, either via mobile / SEC³URE GO! e-badge (entirely contactless) or kiosk, individuals will self-report any potential COVID-19 symptoms. You will be able to track the responses through the facility's SEC³URE COVID-19 Compliance Dashboard.

The SEC³URE COVID-19 Check-in Questionnaire:

Have you, or someone you have been in close contact with, experienced any of the following symptoms in the last 14 days?

1. Fever or chills
2. Cough
3. Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
4. Fatigue
5. Muscle or body aches
6. Headache
7. New loss of taste or smell
8. Sore throat
9. Congestion or runny nose
10. Nausea or vomiting
11. Diarrhea

A YES answer will not allow a healthcare provider to check-in via SEC³URE. They will be directed to not enter the facility and to immediately consult with their own healthcare provider.

Answering NO continues the check-in process.
