Members of the American University community should also be prepared to undergo coronavirus testing when they return to the D.C. campus after winter break.
“The latest [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidance recommends booster shots for all eligible adults over the age of 18,” the letter read, WTTG reported.
“You are eligible if you received your second Pfizer or Moderna dose at least six months ago, or your single-dose Johnson & Johnson dose at least two months ago.” According to additional research, boosters can help protect against the omicron variant.
