Some Universities Are Taking the Other Route 

Not every university around Massachusetts requires the second booster of the Covid-19 vaccine before allowing students to campuses. Universities like Bentley University said that although they ensure that strict Covid-19 rules are followed, students don't need to take the second covid vaccine.    Ed Gavaghan, a spokesperson for Northeastern, said via email that the school has rules in place for resuming students, but they won't force anyone to take any vaccine. He added that the school has "consistently followed scientific data and public health requirements to maintain safe and open campuses throughout the pandemic."   Dr. Estevan Garcia, medical director at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, has issued a warning saying that more people should take the bivalent boosters so that they won't be another wave of Covid-19 in the winter.
