Today's update: Fall semester numbers
Sept. 2, 202
Fall semester numbers
We've posted our first COVID-19 dashboard for the semester and thanks are in order to the majority of people who have registered their vaccination status with us.
Registrations are still coming in and being processed, so the numbers are not complete. But according to the survey results, it looks as if about 85% of employees and as many as 93% of students are fully or partially vaccinated as of today.
Plus, our most recent testing (of athletes and international students) and self-reporting show only two cases on campus currently.
Let's keep the good news coming. If you have not received a COVID vaccination, get one!
But whether you are vaccinated or not, please let us know. Students who have not registered should go to the Dean of Students office in Founders Hall and show their vaccination card.
This Friday is Vaccination Day at the campus health clinic from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Just walk in and get your shot. No appointment is needed. This clinic is for first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine, not boosters.
Briefing this Friday
中国体彩网 leaders will discuss vaccination rates and Illinois COVID testing rules during a campus briefing at 11:30 a.m. Friday.
Take the tour!
The Peter J. Lindberg, M.D., Center for Health and Human Performance officially is open for academic use after a ribbon-cutting Monday. The pool will be open later this fall.
