Booster Requirement
Regis College students, faculty, and staff eligible to get a COVID-19 booster are required to have one to live, learn, and work on campus this semester. Those who have an approved vaccine exemption from the university are also exempt from the booster.
Please upload booster documentation to CoVerified by clicking on the “+” icon on the home screen and selecting “Upload Vaccine Record.”
You are eligible if you:
- Are 12 years old or over
- Are fully vaccinated
- It has been more than five months since a second Pfizer vaccine
- It has been more than five months since a second Moderna vaccine
- It has been more than two months since a Johnson and Johnson vaccine
You may not be eligible to get the booster at this time if you:
- Are not passed the above timeline for your previous vaccines
- Have an approved vaccine exemption from Regis College
If you have a question related to your specific booster timeline or eligibility, please email covid19@regiscollege.edu.
Data clearly shows the booster is the best possible defense from hospitalization or serious illness as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, based on the CDC’s new quarantine and isolation recommendations, getting a booster means you will not have to quarantine if you are a close contact to someone who tests positive for COVID-19.
