COVID-19 Vaccine & Information

March 10, 2023: COVID-19 Vaccine Policy Update:

Pursuant to the US Department of Health and Human Services planning to end the federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 this spring, AIC will end the on-campus COVID-19 vaccine requirement effective May 12, 2023. At that time, AIC will continue to require all students to comply with the current immunization requirements set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for college entry. While these requirements do not currently include the COVID-19 vaccine, AIC strongly encourages all members of the AIC community to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.

Are masks required on campus?

(Revised 5/18/23)

Masks are not required on AIC’s campus; however, we ask that everyone respect an individual’s decision to wear a mask if they choose to do so.

Patients may still be provided with a mask to wear in Health Services if they are experiencing signs of respiratory illness such as congestion, cough, runny nose, fever, and sore throat.

Wearing a mask provides protection against COVID and other viruses, especially when indoors or in crowded spaces. Consider wearing a mask especially if you have a weakened immune system, if you are at increased risk for severe disease because of your age or an underlying medical condition, or if someone in your household has a weakened immune system or is at increased risk for severe disease.

What should I do if I am experiencing symptoms of COVID-19?

  • Emergency

Call 9-1-1 or Campus Police at (413) 205-3333.

  • Non-Emergency

Contact Dexter Health Services during business hours at (413) 205-3248 to schedule an appointment with a health care provider.

What should I do if I test positive for COVID-19?

As with any illness, follow health and hygiene guidance, isolate from others the best you can, wear a mask, wash your hands, and avoid sharing personal items with others.

Contact Dexter Health Services if you have any additional questions. Please note, the health center does not provide notes to excuse you from class. It is your responsibility to communicate with your professors and keep up with coursework.
