The COVID-19 Updates Dashboard reflects nearly universal compliance with the university’s vaccine policy, which includes getting vaccinated or applying for an exemption. We are grateful for everyone’s efforts toward accomplishing this essential element to maintain the well-being and health of the community.

Per this guidance, we continue to encourage all of our community members to wear facial coverings and avoid large events or crowded spaces as ways to limit exposure risks. Students, faculty and staff should also follow the university’s travel recommendations, including asymptomatic COVID-19 testing through Tartan Testing before and after travel as well as symptom monitoring. We strongly encourage all community members to remain vigilant as you plan your in-person return to learning, teaching and research following the Thanksgiving holiday.
I’m also excited to announce that starting next month 麻豆村 will begin offering booster shots to . Currently, we are only offering Pfizer, however now that and Moderna and J&J, we are also researching those options. If you are unsure if you meet eligibility criteria, or if you have concerns about receiving a booster, we highly recommend that you consult your health care provider.

We have come a long way since COVID-19 emerged last year, and it is my hope that we can continue to protect the health and well-being of our campus community and forge ahead toward success.
