Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

We appreciate the care and concern that our community has shown for each other over the first two months of the academic year. While COVID-19 continues to impact our lives, we have worked to keep each other healthy, safe and together as a community.

We write today as a follow-up on recent decisions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announcing that certain people are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster shot, including those who received Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html – HighRisk

Trinity College and Hartford HealthCare are working to possibly offer a COVID-19 booster clinic on campus in November.  At this time, boosters are not required to work, attend classes, or live on campus. To help us plan for an on-campus clinic, we would like to ask that you respond to this survey.

According to the CDC, the following groups of people are eligible to receive COVID-19 boosters:

For individuals who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their initial series:

For individuals who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.

We welcome your participation in this survey. Your responses will support our efforts to continue to keep our campus community safe and together as a community.

Sincerely,

Joe DiChristina, Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management
Jason Rojas, Chief of Staff and Associate Vice President for External Relations
