COVID-19 Vaccine
- Tuesday, August 10th, 2021
Faculty, Staff and Students,
If you have not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to take this important step. The vaccine provides the most effective and safest way to guard against infection and severe illness, and those fully vaccinated no longer need to quarantine if exposed. For more information, please watch this short video and contact our COVID-19 Response Team at 270-745-2019 or covid.help@wku.edu for any questions or assistance. Together, we can make our Hill safe this fall.
Go Tops!
