OPINION: Covid-19 vaccine mandates, education will keep DePaul s community safe

DePaul’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate ensures that all students will be safe from infecting themselves and others  from both the virus and new strains. As a freshman student, I would not have considered returning to campus in the fall if DePaul had not mandated the vaccine. There is too much risk of exposure and infection if a majority of the campus is not vaccinated.  The CDC and Illinois Public Health Department have demonstrated that all three vaccines are highly effective in protecting against the virus. Moderna is 94.1 percent effective,Pfzier being 95 percent effective and Johnson & Johnson is 66.3 percent effective, according to the CDC. The vaccine is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when everyone over 16 is eligible to receive one in Illinois.
