Dear Adelphi Community,
We are pleased to provide the following important updates to our COVID-19 prevention measures:
- Adelphi has once again been allotted a limited number of聽Pfizer vaccine聽doses from New York state. On-campus聽COVID-19 vaccinations for eligible Adelphi community members will resume on Monday, May 17, 2021. Should additional doses remain, they will be made available to eligible family members beginning Wednesday, May 19, 2021.
- While we see the recent announcement about relaxed mask wearing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a good indicator of progress in the fight against COVID-19,聽masks will still be required indoors and anywhere social distancing is not possible on the Adelphi campus聽and at our centers. The CDC suggests that people who are vaccinated 鈥渃an聽resume activities without wearing a mask鈥�.鈥� New York state, our governing body, has not adopted the CDC鈥檚 position and at Adelphi, masks are still required for the safety聽of our community at this time.
