SJMC vaccination registrations are up; let’s keep going!
As of last Friday, 65% of students who are registered with SJMC as first their major have submitted proof of vaccination. That compares to 52% the previous week.Thanks to all of you who have stepped up! All members of the Drake community are encouraged to help alleviate the renewed threat of the pandemic by getting vaccinated. And, once you are fully vaccinated, please report that to the University. Required campus safety protocols in the fall will be determined by how many people on campus are vaccinated. The sooner everyone gets vaccinated, the sooner we can loosen restrictions.
