We strongly encourage everyone to become vaccinated when the opportunity arises. If you come to campus and you are not fully vaccinated, you must wear a mask and be tested weekly.

You will be notified by the UPEI Health and Wellness Centre and the PEI Chief Public Health Office.

You would inform your direct supervisor and they could request proof of vaccination as per the policy.
