University of Virginia moves up date for COVID boosters for students, faculty
Students, staff and faculty at the University of Virginia will need to get COVID-19 vaccine boosters by Jan. 14 after university officials moved up the deadline by more than two weeks.
Officials made the announcement Friday in an email message to the UVa community. The original deadline was Feb. 1.
“We have changed the booster deadline because our public health experts are concerned that a spike in serious COVID-19 cases at the start of the semester could strain health care resources and university isolation and quarantine space,” the message states.
The email was signed by UVa President Jim Ryan, Provost Liz Magill, Chief Operating Officer J.J. Davis and Dr. K. Craig Kent, of UVa Health.
