Vaccine Information
It is proven that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and they are widely available in our area. Vaccinated people experience a high degree of protection from the virus, and there is evidence that they are much less likely to transmit
the virus to others. Our ability to maintain a vibrant and engaged campus community is based on most members of our community being up to date on their vaccinations.We will continually monitor the latest guidance and will communicate
with the campus community whenever our own policies are updated. If you have any questions, please email healthservices@bellarmine.edu.
