Go to this link: https://hitlrte.secure.force.com/NexGen
/NexGenWelcomeID?site=DC
Enter your student ID number, last name, and Delta College student email, and then click “Record a Vaccine”
Tip: Use “Mustangs” instead of “Students” in your email address. Example: Use “abreitler486@ mustangs.deltacollege.edu” instead of “abreitler486@ students.deltacollege.edu.”
Tip: Take your time and make sure your ID and name matches how they are displayed in MyDelta.
Once you see the green “Success” bar, check your email for an email with a secure link.
Tip: The secure link will be valid for only 15 minutes, so be sure that you are ready to upload your vaccination/booster information right away.
Tip: If you are both a student and an employee, you will need to complete this process twice using both your employee and student (Mustangs) email.
Once you have clicked on the secure link, provide the required information for the Terms of Consent and click “Submit.”
You’ll then be prompted to enter your vaccine information. Indicate your vaccine status.
Tip: For this process, “Fully Vaccinated” means either have you received your full initial sequence of vaccination shot(s), or you have received your full initial vaccination shot(s) and your booster. If you received only one of the two initial shots, you are considered “Partially Vaccinated.”
Tip: Vaccination information that you have previously submitted to the College should appear automatically.
You’ll be asked to provide the vaccination country, manufacturer of your vaccine, and the date of each dose. You may enter the lot number but it is not required. Below those fields, click “Choose file” to upload either a photo of your vaccination card with all of your vaccination/booster dates, or upload a screenshot of your California Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record, which you can find at https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov
Tip: You can upload more than one file if needed.
Check the box under “Attestation and Consent” and click “Submit.”

FAQ

Why are you requiring booster shots?

The Delta College Board of Trustees has approved a requirement that students receive a booster shot or an approved exemption in order to sign up for in-person or hybrid classes for summer/fall 2022. The Centers for Disease Control says that COVID-19 vaccines are working well to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death, but that the effectiveness of the vaccine does wane over time. That's why the booster is important to improve our protection and keep us safe at Delta.

What if it’s been less than six months since I got my original vaccination shot(s)?

If it has been less than six months since your second Moderna or Pfizer shot (or two months since your single Johnson & Johnson shot), you are not yet required to have the booster shot. You may sign up for in-person or hybrid classes. However, once you reach the 6-month mark with Moderna or Pfizer shot (or two months since your single Johnson & Johnson shot) you must have the booster or an approved exemption, or you will be unable to sign up for future in-person or hybrid classes or use in-person services.

Example:

Jose received his second dose of Pfizer on Nov. 18, 2021. He must receive his booster shot by May 18, 2022, six months after he finished the initial two shots. He can sign up for in-person classes and use in-person services until May 18.
Josefina received her second dose of Pfizer on April 15, 2021. Because more than six months has passed, she is expected to have received her booster shot. When her registration date for summer arrives, she will be unable to sign up for in-person or hybrid classes or use in-person services until she uploads proof of her booster or obtains an approved exemption.

I am under 18. Do I need the booster?

You are not required to get the booster if you are under 18. However, once you turn 18 you will have to get the booster in order to use in-person services or sign up for future in-person or hybrid classes.

I already have an approved exemption. Do I need to apply for another exemption for the booster?

No. You do not need an exemption if you already have one on file for the original vaccination requirement.

I already uploaded proof of vaccination and now I plan to upload proof of my booster. Do I need all three dates?

Yes. You must provide the dates of your original vaccination as well as the date of your booster. If your vaccination and booster dates are all on the same card, you can simply upload a photo of that card. If the dates are on separate cards, you must either upload photos of both cards, or obtain a screenshot from the state’s Digital COVID-19 Vaccination Record.

Once I submit, how long will it take to verify my booster?

We will work as quickly as possible to verify your booster so that you can sign up for in-person or hybrid classes and use in-person services. To avoid possible delays when your registration date arrives, it’s very important that you fill out the form as soon as possible.
