SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Le Moyne College is now requiring all undergraduate and graduate students to get a COVID-19 booster vaccination.

The school’s mandate is “part of the College’s strategy to reduce the risk of transmission and serious illness,” per a news release on the Le Moyne website.

People are eligible to receive a booster vaccination six months after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and two months after the first dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

To prepare for the beginning of the spring semester, all eligible physician assistant studies students should receive their booster vaccination before Monday, Jan. 10, Le Moyne said. All other eligible graduate and undergraduate students should receive their booster jab by Sunday, Jan. 16.

Students not eligible due to the date of their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or first dose of Johnson and Johnson must receive their booster vaccination as soon as they are eligible, the college said.

Le Moyne will launch a new online tool within the next few weeks that students will use to submit documentation of their COVID-19 booster vaccination and flu shot. Details and instructions on how to use this will be sent out once it is operational, the college said.

More information regarding booster vaccinations for Le Moyne employees will be forthcoming shortly. In the meantime, all employees are strongly encouraged to get a booster jab as soon as possible.
