Reminder Regarding COVID-19 Vaccination

If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine from a non-BU source, please notify the University. Faculty and staff should email COVID-19 vaccination information to buohc@bu.edu.

Students should upload COVID-19 vaccination documentation to Patient Connect. 
 
Even if you have received a COVID-19 vaccine, it is required that you wear a mask, maintain physical distance from others, and continue the daily symptom attestation on Healthway and categorical testing cadence when on campus. 



The City of Boston and Mayor Martin Walsh proclaimed February 8, 2021, a day officially honoring Rebecca Lee Crumpler, an 1864 graduate of the Boston University School of Medicine, then New England Female Medical College.
