COVID-19 Booster Upload Instructions

Caltech is using the Student Wellness Services PnC portal for COVID-19 vaccination and booster documentation uploads. This portal was originally created for use by Caltech students; however, it has been expanded to accommodate vaccination and booster documentation uploads for staff, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, visitors, and other members of the Caltech community.

Step-by-step instructions on how to upload your COVID-19 vaccination and booster documentation are listed below. Please note that you will need to input your entire COVID-19 vaccination history, including your booster dose if you have received one, as part of this process. In addition to these step-by-step instructions, a quick video is also available at the bottom of this page to walk you through this process.

If you are not eligible to receive the COVID-19 booster dose, you must still upload your COVID-19 vaccine documentation and enter your vaccine history.

If you have received a medical or religious exemption from Caltech Human Resources, you do not need to do anything.

Have questions about this process? Contact: Human Resources at 626-395-3300 or hrinfo@caltech.edu.

Have questions about Caltech's vaccination requirement policy? Contact: Employee and Organizational Development at EOD@caltech.edu.

If you experience technical issues when using the portal, please contact IMSS at help@caltech.edu.

Before you get started:

  2. File size is limited to 4MB. You will receive an error message if your file size is too large. If you receive this error message, re-size the image and try again.
  3. Supported file formats are: JPG, JPEG, PNG, PDF.
  4. You may upload more than one image if necessary.
  5. For this page to work properly, you may need to enable pop-ups in your browser.

Step 2: Upload Your COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Documentation:

Before beginning this step, scan or take a digital photo of your Covid-19 vaccination and booster immunization record, and crop the image(s) as needed. Documentation may include your CDC or WHO vaccination card or a digital record issued by the California Department of Public Health or a healthcare provider (see the LA County Proof of Vaccination Visual Guide for examples).

When your documentation file(s) are ready for upload:

  1. Click "Upload" in the COVID-19 Vaccination Card Upload Section. You may upload more than one image, if necessary, by clicking the upload button a second time.
