David Lassner. The Hawaiʻi Deptartment of Health (
DOH) has final approval on who receives the vaccine and when. Based on the emerging knowledge about COVID-19 disease and the supply of the vaccine in the state,
DOH determines priority groups to be vaccinated. The prioritization list in the message sent on February 9, 2021, is for internal use by the University of Hawaiʻi. The
UH System is committed to following the
DOH vaccination prioritization order as it exists today or may change in the future.
At this time, given the limited supply of vaccines,
UH student athletes and student residents on campus cannot be part of a group that is prioritized above frontline essential workers. The group formerly consisting of 1B-4 workers will now be categorized as 1B-3 workers. We will continue to work to vaccinate our student athletes and residents on campus, in a manner consistent with
In the not-so-distant past, domestic violence or intimate partner violence was not openly discussed in the community or workplace. That a loved one would harm their intimate partner in a coercive, deliberate and violent manner was a difficult truth that many would prefer to minimize or deny. Spousal and intimate “disputes” were considered private matters, and even trained professionals experienced many challenges in developing safe interventions for victims who were trapped by abusive partners.
We now understand the prevalence of domestic violence globally and, sadly, here in Hawaiʻi. We now know that while domestic violence can affect anyone, there are certain populations that are even more vulnerable including indigenous populations, gender minorities, and the disabled particularly when these identities intersect.

University of Hawaiʻi employees are eligible for up to two hours of administrative leave (per dose) to take the COVID-19 vaccine during normal work hours, as operations permit. This leave allowance follows
Gov. David Ige’s direction for state employees announced February 8, 2021.
Employees must work with their supervisor and obtain approval before taking time off to be vaccinated, in accordance with
UH President
David Lassner‘s February 9 memorandum regarding the administrative leave for vaccines.
The online leave system is currently being updated to accommodate requests for “Administrative Leave – Vaccine”; however, it is not available at this time. Until then, supervisors should keep track of any approvals granted along with the date and time the leave was taken so that they may be accurately recorded in the online leave system when it becomes available.
