On Aug. 18, public health and medical experts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a statement recommending booster shots for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. 

Ferris is currently offering COVID-19 vaccines to students, faculty and staff and is looking into offering booster shots to students when it becomes available.  

“Pop-up vaccine clinics will be held throughout campus during move-in week, and additional vaccine clinics will be scheduled if the demand is there. Students, faculty and staff can receive the vaccine by calling Birkam Health Center at x2614, option 2, to schedule an appointment,” said Michelle Rasmussen of the Ferris COVID-19 re-entry committee.
