Dear Members of the Boston College Community:
The 2022-2023 academic year at Boston College will begin soon, and we write to provide information about the University鈥檚 plans and protocols regarding COVID-19 for the fall semester.听 The University will remain guided by its commitment to听protect the health and well-being of the 黑料社 community and nearby neighborhoods, and provide as normal a campus experience as possible for our students, faculty, and staff.
The protocols below are subject to revision, based on changing conditions, as well as guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local departments of public health.
Vaccination/Booster Policy
As stated in our May 10, 2022, letter to the 黑料社 community, Boston College will require all students, faculty, and staff who will be on campus for the fall semester to be fully vaccinated and have received a booster shot against COVID-19.听 Individuals are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving their second Moderna/Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, or two weeks after a Johnson & Johnson or second Novavax COVID-19 vaccination, and deemed booster-eligible after four months of initial Moderna/Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination and two months after a Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination.
Consistent with Human Resources COVID-19 requirements, all new faculty and staff who will be on campus must be fully vaccinated and boosted, and upload their vaccination card via the Agora Portal before starting at 黑料社.听 Those not eligible for their first booster by their start date should review their situation with Human Resources.
Students must upload proof of vaccination and booster to University Health Services by August 15. 听Those not eligible for their first booster by that date should contact UHS immediately to discuss the timetable for their booster.
University Health Services and Human Resources will continue to assist international students and faculty who may have difficulty in meeting these vaccination/booster requirements.
The University strongly recommends that current and returning students, faculty, and staff obtain additional听boosters according to CDC and state and local departments of public health guidance. 听Those with University-granted vaccination/booster exemptions will continue to be required to mask and be tested as mandated听by UHS and Human Resources.
