The London, Ont., university's updated vaccine policy requires a booster dose — usually equivalent to a third shot — for students, employees, and some visitors to its campus
LONDON, Ont. — Western University announced Monday staff and students who return to campus next month will be required to have at least one booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and wear masks in classrooms. “While we can’t predict when the next wave of COVID-19 might come, we believe these measures will help us protect the in-person experience that Western is known for," said provost Florentine Strzelczyk, in a statement posted to the university's website announcing the updated policy.
Toronto Metropolitan University said last week in a post to its website its vaccine and mask mandates would remain suspended for the fall semester, although it noted it may need to reinstate the requirements, should public health indicators change. Some visitors are exempt from the university's updated vaccine requirements, including visiting athletes, prospective students and patients receiving care at a university-operated clinic.
