Just one of the great events we are involved in!

Our updated policy regarding masks on campus! As always, we follow what makes our groups and clients feel comfortable.

Last week the U.S. CDC announced new metrics to determine masking guidance nationwide. These guidelines are based on a county-by-county analysis of COVID-19 cases combined with local hospital data. Yesterday, the CDC announced that all counties in Maine are now considered medium risk for COVID-19, and that masking indoors is no longer recommended in the state for most individuals.

Effective Monday, March 7, masks will be optional in most indoor spaces for vaccinated individuals, with the following exceptions:

-Health care delivery spaces such as the Student Health Centers, Oral Health Center, OMM Clinic, dental hygiene clinics, and athletic training room
-Some clinical skills and lab spaces, which will be identified and communicated to students, faculty, and professional staff by their respective academic program leadership
-UNE vehicles, such as safe ride, the Portland Campus shuttle, and transportation for athletics or field trips off campus
-Students engaged in off-campus experiences must continue to follow the masking guidelines of those spaces.

Those who have received a medical or religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine must continue to mask while indoors.

Second Booster Clinic happening on the Biddeford Campus February 2nd! Details below!

🔷 COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Clinic for UNE Students and Employees 🔷

Wednesday, February 2 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Campus Center, Biddeford Campus

No preregistration is required. Please bring your insurance card and vaccine card.

As a reminder, the deadline for obtaining and uploading your booster vaccine dose will be February 16 unless you are not yet eligible because you received your vaccination after the August 16, 2021 deadline.

Currently, UNE is only able to offer the Moderna booster. The FDA has approved using a vaccine booster different from the one you received in your original vaccine series, so those who originally received Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccines may receive the Moderna booster shot.

Please contact Jennifer Gunderman at [email protected] with any questions about the clinic. General questions related to UNE’s COVID-19 response plan should be directed to [email protected].
