Importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect our families, communities and ourselves against COVID-19. Evidence indicates that the vaccines used in Canada are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
A booster dose following a primary series of mRNA vaccines offers better protection against Omicron infection and severe disease than the primary series alone.
Among people who are vaccinated against COVID-19, studies show that:
- their level of protection against infection from the primary series decreases over time and is low against Omicron, but can be improved with a booster dose
- the primary series appears to maintain good protection against severe disease and hospitalization caused by Omicron
- protection against severe disease and hospitalization is higher after a booster dose
Vaccination is very important, even if you've been previously infected with COVID-19. While infection alone provides some protection, vaccination after infection helps improve the immune response and may provide better and longer-lasting protection.
TMU's stance on COVID-19 vaccination
As of May 1, 2022, the university’s vaccination policy is suspended.
The university continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in our city and province, and will be nimble in responding to changes, and in planning for the future. The university may need to reinstate requirements for vaccinations should public health indicators change.
As a primary health and safety measure, the university continues to encourage all who are able to be vaccinated to do so.
