NOTE: In the rare instance that your medical provider has recommended against your receiving a booster dose based on reaction to the first regimen, please send a note to Moderna vaccine booster clinics: We have arranged two on-campus opportunities for Macalester students, staff, and faculty (unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate additional family or friends).
We urge members of our community to get a booster dose as soon after their primary vaccination regimen permits. Reminder: By February 1, 2022, all students and employees must complete this simple form to upload booster documentation. We will send an update no later than January 28, 2022, that reflects our expectations at that time. Quiet Period: In an effort to prioritize in-person living and learning, we will observe COVID-specific precautions during a Quiet Period that begins today and lasts at least through February 1.

None of us has a crystal ball and we are mindful that the many dimensions of uncertainty create varying levels of stress for each individual and household. Although layered public health measures help to slow the spread of the omicron variant, we expect a higher number of COVID-19 cases on campus this spring. The coronavirus pandemic continues to create new challenges and to introduce uncertainty as we look towards the spring semester. We remain committed to an on-campus experience, while continuing to identify and implement practices that help keep each other safer. We recognize the value of in-person living and learning interactions. We hope you have had an opportunity to rest over the winter break, and we appreciate the precautions you continue to take in order to protect the health and wellbeing of our community.
