As you are aware, Texas A&M does not require COVID-19 vaccinations, although students, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccination and wear face coverings, especially indoors (vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals). For more information regarding getting the vaccine on campus, at no cost, got to: https://shs.tamu.edu/coronavirus/vaccine-information/

As researchers we have an ethical obligation to protect the well-being of all research participants. Therefore, the vaccination of all research personnel who have direct interactions with research participants is strongly encouraged. As a reminder, vaccines are readily available for students, faculty, and staff through Student Health Services, as is testing for everyone at Texas A&M University. For researchers who have not been vaccinated, face coverings are strongly recommended for self-protection and reduction of the spread of COVID-19. Similarly, high-touch objects (objects and devices, including computer peripherals, routinely touched by researcher participants) should continue to be disinfected.
