Quick follow-up to this morning's post. Marist College just announced that it will be requiring all members of the campus community -- faculty, staff, students, etc. -- to get a Covid booster vaccine shot by January 31. The college already has a required flu shot mandate in place as well. These are public health decisions that many colleges and universities are following; colleges and universities are congregate settings where community spread of viruses can be rapid. Toward the end of this fall 2021 semester, there was a relatively high prevalence of flu and flu-like symptoms on campus (and among our teams). So yeah. Between flu shot and Covid boosters? They'll be a lot more sore arms in the coming days and weeks!
