Dear Students,听
We write to remind you that all BC students who plan to be on campus at any point during this semester must obtain a COVID-19 booster vaccination when eligible, and upload a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card to Agora Health Services by听Wednesday, February 9, 2022听(if you have not done so already).听 February 9 is your booster/upload deadline听unless:
- you were approved to receive your last Pfizer or Moderna shot after August 9, 2021, and are not yet eligible for a booster by February 9, 2022 (contact University Health Services for approval of your second semester booster timetable), or
- you are within a 90-day window of contracting COVID-19 (obtain your booster and upload between day 10 and 90 following your positive test).
Please note: The only exception to BC鈥檚 booster requirement will be for those who previously obtained a University-approved religious or medical COVID-19 vaccination exemption and have not since been fully vaccinated.
Vaccination Record Card Uploading Instructions
Students should upload COVID-19 Vaccination Record Cards to the Agora Health Services Portal following the steps below:听

Select the IMMUNIZATION ICON on the Agora Health Services portal.听 Choose via the drop down menu the COVID-19 vaccination booster icon, and record the vaccination booster date. Click SUBMIT to save;
