Harvard and other Colleges Make Second Booster Shots Mandatory
The University of Harvard and other colleges around Massachusetts, such as Tufts University, ask students to take the second round of the covid vaccine, or they will be denied entry in the next semester. Boston University has also joined the list of universities asking their students to take the second dose of the Covid-19 boosters. Before the Thanksgiving break, the university held a clinic day to help students who haven't gotten the covid booster shot. Thanksgiving day is usually when many activities and meetings occur.

"As a University, we wanted to offer bivalent boosters ahead of the colder months and holiday season with the expected increase in indoor gatherings," Colin Riley, a Boston University spokesperson, said in an email to WBUR. In addition, the spokesperson also said that about six hundred students came to take the bivalent boosters when they held the one-day clinic day. Some students of Boston University, such as Ksenia Sherstyuk, said they came to take the booster because they didn't want to get sick unnecessarily. Ksenia Sherstyuk also mentioned that she still wears face masks in large groups to prevent the spread of the virus.
