Before the fall semester started, Brandon University announced a "Winning Shot" contest to encourage students, staff, and faculty to vaccinate against COVID-19. In order to enter, students, staff, and faculty had to be double vaccinated by September 10, 2021. Since then, the University has implemented a vaccine policy in which students, faculty, and staff will be required to show proof of complete vaccination against covid-19 or apply for an exemption. If individuals fail to showcase proof of full vaccination, they will not be allowed on campus.
All doors to the Brandon University campus will be closed as of October 31, 2021, and everyone who needs to come in will need to swipe their Brandon University ID. In order to claim your access to Brandon University campus after October 31, students, staff, and faculty will need to upload vaccine verification to: https://vaccination.brandonu.ca/ Furthermore, door access will be granted to those who have approved exemptions as well as those who are partially vaccinated and are expected to be fully vaccinated by November 15, 2021.
Brandon University felt that in order for students, faculty, and staff to meet the vaccine policy requirements, it would be best to extend the deadline for ht Winning Shot contest. You must enter by October 31, 2021, to qualify for the draw, and you must be fully vaccinated to enter. Let's all get vaccinated!
