Ladies and gentlemen,

This is further information on the COVID-19 vaccination process:

1.    The Ministry of Education and Science introduced an amendment to the announcement and the vaccination system may apply to teachers born after December 31, 1955, and not as initially communicated after December 31, 1956.

2.    We remind you that the following persons will be registered for vaccination:

1.    academic teachers whose primary place of work is Lodz University of Technology;

3.    Industry specialists who will have signed contracts during the next semester (the Ministry of Education and Science has not yet confirmed this information) will be reported for vaccination after entering them into the POL-on system. The reminder of the procedure will be sent to the heads of units by the vice-rector for education.

4.    A person who has not yet completed the form, but wishes to vaccinate, is asked to register as soon as possible (no later than February 18, 2021, 12:00) on the Wikamp platform at the following address:

Ladies and Gentlemen, a number of people at Lodz University of Technology are working to launch the vaccination process as soon as possible. In many cases, we depend on information from the Ministry of Education and Science and the National Health Fund, and we must adapt our actions to them. I am asking you for understanding and patience.

With wishes of health
