Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers more information about booster shots here. We also urge everyone who is over 18 and at least six months past their primary vaccination date if they received Moderna or Pfizer, or two months past their vaccination date if they received Johnson & Johnson, to get a booster as soon as possible. In the meantime, the best approach for all of us is to get vaccinated, get tested and stay away from others if we are feeling symptomatic, and continue to wear our masks indoors when we are around others. As our understanding grows, we will evaluate whether any changes to our public health approach are necessary and inform you as soon as possible.

At this time, scientists here at UVA and around the world simply don’t have enough data about this new variant to make informed decisions about how to respond to it. Like many of you, we have watched with concern the news about the new omicron variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. Monitoring Omicron and Encouraging Booster Shots Please take a moment and review the important information below. Your efforts, within our community and in the Charlottesville/Albemarle region overall, embody what we mean when we talk about making UVA an institution that is great and good. We would also like to offer special recognition to the many people who worked so hard guiding the University’s public health response this semester, including our team of expert advisers, the world-class staff at UVA Health, Student Health and Wellness, and Employee Health, and the many other members of this community who took on added responsibilities to make a safe and successful semester possible.
Our return to a much more normal experience would not have been possible without the incredible efforts of UVA students, faculty, and staff, who did the right things by getting vaccinated, following our indoor mask policy, and getting tested when they were feeling ill.

We have been able to do and experience things together this fall that would have been unimaginable this time last year, from returning to full capacity learning in the classroom, to attending UVA football games and arts performances, to socializing together after class and on the weekends.
We are writing today to provide updates on the University’s public health approach for the upcoming spring semester, as well as our public health experts’ ongoing evaluation of the new omicron variant.īefore we do that however, we would like to thank you for making this semester a success.
