Are students arriving from outside the U.S. required to quarantine and/or be tested for COVID-19? If I am vaccinated against COVID-19, do I still have to quarantine and test?

Summer and Fall 2021 Protocols for Students Arriving From International Locations

Effective May 10, 2021 — Please note that these protocols are subject to change

For students who are fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine

• Submit documentation of your vaccination to PPHC here. If your vaccine record is not in English, please submit both an English translated version and the original. As a courtesy, a list of qualified translators is available here; you are responsible for any and all expenses incurred.
• You will need to be tested for COVID-19 3-5 days after arrival in the U.S.
• No self-quarantine protocol is required, but you must report any COVID-19 symptoms to PPHC if they arise.
• You must email quarantine@121.health to ensure appropriate vaccination documentation is on-file and to schedule a COVID-19 test with PPHC.

Approved vaccines:

These vaccines have FDA EUA approval and/or are WHO-approved. Please note that if you receive a two-dose vaccine, both doses must be from the same manufacturer.

For students who are not fully vaccinated

• You will need to self-quarantine for 7 days after arrival in the U.S. and be tested for COVID-19 3-5 days after arrival (regardless of the outcome of the test, you will need to complete the full 7-day self-quarantine). 
• A limited amount of self-quarantine space will be available on campus at no charge. Students who self-quarantine elsewhere will be responsible for all lodging expenses.  
• Email PPHC at quarantine@121.health to make self-quarantine and COVID-19 testing arrangements.
• Note: Purdue intends to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to unvaccinated students upon arrival, if desired. PPHC will help you make vaccination arrangements.
