Important Announcement Regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations and the Phlebotomy Program
EvCC has been closely tracking COVID-19 developments, including Washington state's reopening, Gov. Inslee's higher education proclamation, and the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. EvCC now requires all students, staff and faculty who are working or learning in person on campus to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (Return to Campus COVID Vaccinations Required). EvCC is offering exemptions to these requirements for medical and religious reasons.
While EvCC is aligning its policies with the Governor's higher education proclamation, clinical placement sites may have additional criteria. Our Phlebotomy clinical partners are following the new state proclamation (WA Proclamation COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement) for healthcare facilities. Please note: The Phlebotomy Program is not aware of any clinical partners at this time who are hosting Phlebotomy students at their facilities without complete COVID-19 vaccination. If a student chooses to use the EvCC vaccine exemption, the Phlebotomy Program cannot guarantee clinical placement. Using the EvCC exemption could result in failure to complete the Phlebotomy program.
Program Announcements
The Phlebotomy program has changed into two classes, HLTH 220 and HLTH 221. HLTH 220 is the classroom and lecture portion, HLTH 221 is the externship. You must take 220 before taking 221. Currently HLTH 220 is offered fall and spring quarters and HLTH 221 is offered winter and summer quarters. Please see the information sessions listed if you would like to come to the campus to learn more about the program.
Immunizations and Background Check Procedures for the Phlebotomy Technician Program
All immunization documentation and criminal background checks for the Phlebotomy Technician Program must go through Complio. Use this link for directions on how to create your Complio account and upload your documents. 
Your Complio account is active for one year at a cost of $13. The background check starts at $60 and can increase if you have lived in several counties or states. It is valid for 6 months from the completion date.
You must have your immunization records uploaded and be 100% compliant in all categories listed on the Immunization Guide in order to receive a permission code to register for HLTH 220. You will be notified by your instructor when to start your Criminal Background Check. This notification will occur while in HLTH 220. Your Complio account and the Criminal Background Check need to be complete in order to receive a permission code to register for HLTH 221. Please look over the Immunization Guide Clinical Passport Tutorial, and TB information letter before visiting your health care provider for clarification on the immunizations required.

The number of phlebotomy jobs is growing and is expected to continue growing. Phlebotomists collect blood for lab analysis and work in medical and diagnostic laboratories, physicians’ offices and other healthcare facilities.
Students enroll in Health 220 after all prerequisites are met. Upon successful completion of classroom and clinical externship training, the student meets eligibility requirements to sit for the national certification exam sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP)
