The university did not say how many exemption requests have been granted, or how many students have not had a booster dose, but said the 'vast majority' of those living on campus received three shots before arriving
TORONTO — Less than one per cent of the 8,400 University of Toronto students living on campus have requested an exemption to its triple-COVID-19-shot mandate, the school said Wednesday.
“The vast majority of students in residence were able to be vaccinated with a booster prior to moving into residence.” "There are many reasons that students are not yet able to get their booster shot – they are not yet due for the booster based on the Canadian vaccination schedule, the availability of the bivalent booster, or because they recently had COVID-19," it said.
The London, Ont., school did not provide numbers Wednesday on how many students have already submitted proof of their booster shots ahead of a January deadline, or how many have asked for exemptions to the policy. Western did not say whether any students who have refused to comply with the mandate have faced consequences, but said students are able to withdraw and receive a refund without giving a reason.
