 Over the past two years, we've pulled together like never before as Boilermakers. Because of your tireless work to protect Purdue, we've been able to keep our campus safe and our doors open. Now it's time for us to take the next small step toward our giant leap of defeating COVID-19 and getting campus back to normal, getting the COVID-19 booster. Initial vaccine recommendations showed the efficacy of a two-dose regimen of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, or a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Clinical studies now confirm the need for an additional dose of the vaccines to provide sustained immunity against infection and serious illness, especially in light of new variants of the virus. Two and three-dose vaccine regimens are common, so these recommendations are consistent with many other commonly prescribed vaccinations. As we head into the holidays, now is the time to again protect ourselves, our community, and loved ones by getting the additional dose of the vaccine. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of doses have been administered with proven safety and efficacy. Nearly 90% of our Purdue community has already chosen vaccination. If you received a two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccine six months ago or more, please get a booster dose of either vaccine now. As at least two months past having received the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, we recommend getting a single booster dose of either Pfizer or Moderna now. The Pfizer vaccine is available to all Boilermakers free of charge at the Co-REC. This additional dose will protect you and your families this holiday season and will be essential to continuing to work toward what we all want, returning to normal in the new year. From everyone at the Protect Purdue team, happy holidays. Together, we're working toward sustained safety on our campus and in our communities, and a brighter 2022 for everyone.
