Noon tomorrow: Vaccine Info Session for Faculty and Staff

May 4, 2021

REMINDER: The second in a series of COVID-19 vaccine information sessions for faculty and staff will take place at noon tomorrow, Wednesday, May 5.  Broad community vaccination against COVID-19 is a key component of our plans to return to more normal university operations this fall. The university strongly urges, and may soon require, all faculty and staff to be vaccinated; we have already announced a requirement that all students coming or returning to our campuses in the United States this fall—and who do not require health or religious exemptions—to be vaccinated.     

These sessions are designed for faculty and staff who may have questions or be seeking trustworthy information about COVID-19 vaccines. Panelists will address such topics as vaccine safety and efficacy, eligibility, and common misinformation.
