Dear
students,
staff, and
faculty,
In
planning for a
safe return to
campus, the
health and
safety of our
campus and
Kingston
communities
has been the
university’s
top priority.
Ensuring high
vaccination
rates is the
most effective
way to
mitigate a
fourth wave
and to best
safeguard our
anticipated
full return to
campus.
The
decision to
move to
mandatory
vaccinations
was made on
the advice of,
and in
consultation
with, medical
and public
health
experts.
Individuals
who have not
been fully
vaccinated -
for medical or
for reasons
protected
under the
Ontario Human
Rights Code -
will be
required to
undertake
additional
health and
safety
protocols and
COVID-19
testing as
recommended by
KFL&A
Public Health.
An
announcement
has been
shared with
media, posted
in the Gazette
this morning,
and has been
shared on
Queen’s and
our Faculty’s
social media
channels. The
announcement
is also posted
on the Safe
Return to
Campus website
and FAQs will
be added to
this website,
so please
check it
regularly for
updates.
Sincerely,
