Looking for some extra protection against COVID-19 this school year? The province’s GO-VAXX mobile vaccine bus will be rolling into campus this January.
The GO-VAXX bus will be set up on campus from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, January 28th, 2023, administering the bi-valent vaccine. Students, faculty, staff, and community members will be able to receive a first, second, third or fourth dose of the vaccine. No appointment is required.
Anyone wishing to take advantage of the GO-VAXX bus to receive their vaccine is reminded to:
Bring your health card. If you do not have a health card or your health card is expired, bring another form of government-issued photo identification such as a driver’s license, passport, status card or birth certificate.
Eat and drink something before you arrive to prevent feeling faint or dizzy while being vaccinated.
Dress for the weather in case there is a lineup.
Wear clothing that allows for easy access to the upper arm such as a loose-fitting top or a T-shirt.
Wear a mask that covers your nose, mouth and chin.
Do not visit the GO-VAXX bus if you have symptoms of COVID-19.
Sleep is critical for learning and memory. The process of learning is actively taken up by your brain during sleep, especially during the REM stage. Sleep is essential for long-term memory formation and it is during sleep that memory consolidation and enhancement occurs.
Stop by the Student Health and Wellness table located in the Orsi Family Learning Commons (Simcoe Hall) on December 7th between 2 – 4 pm to learn about the importance of healthy sleep habits and tips on how to get a better nights rest.
It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
