“Concordia University upholds values for life, health, and wellness, and this has been our emphasis throughout the pandemic.”
- Gretchen Jameson, EdD, Senior VP of Strategy and University Affairs
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you. Concordia University will not require all employees to get the vaccine, though it is strongly encouraged.
As a registered COVID-19 vaccinator, Concordia University Wisconsin is administering the vaccine to students, faculty and staff based on their priority group, as determined by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Concordia’s expert faculty in science, medicine, and ethics recently hosted a vaccine panel to share information and answer questions regarding the safety, efficacy, and morality of the COVID-19 vaccines. Watch the discussion here:
