When the vaccines to combat COVID-19 became available we asked students if they were inclined to get vaccinated. Most were concerned about how quickly the vaccines were developed, however, the majority of students said they would get vaccinated. We followed uo with our students to see what they decided and further asked if they intend to get the booster shot when it becomes available. Here is what some individuals had to say about the topic:

“I would not take the vaccine, mostly because there is not a lot of information on it yet and I have heard a lot of negative symptoms from people who have received it. I’m also not very high risk. I have a lot of exposure jobs and I’m pretty well rehearsed in preventing and treating it as any other virus I could catch.
