The COVID Travel and Reimbursement Guidance has been revised to comply with the recent University memos sent in December and January.

The Guidance refers to the new University Booster requirement which has resulted in an updated Vaccination and Booster Attestation form. Reimbursements for travel January 5, 2022 and later must include the new Vaccination and Booster attestation form (version 010422).

When submitting a reimbursement request, Harvard requires faculty, staff, students, and researchers to submit a completed Vaccination and Booster attestation form or letter from the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs (VPIA) approving a petition to travel if the traveler is not fully vaccinated or is eligible, but has not received a booster prior to travel. Harvard faculty, staff, students, and researchers traveling internationally must continue to register with International SOS and submit the auto-generated email confirmation with their airfare reimbursement request.

Please note: Approvers (Concur and/or B2P) are responsible for confirming that the attestation form or petition approval email as well as International SOS registration confirmation (if traveling internationally) has been included in the reimbursement request.

These materials and additional travel guidance can be found on the Harvard Travel Website and University COVID-19 Travel page.
