Research Study: COVID Vaccine and College Students. Last semester, many students answered a survey to voice hopes and concerns about the Covid 19 vaccine. Now that the vaccine has arrived, Viterbo students are invited to step up again to inform the community’s understanding of the vaccine roll-out. Participation in this 15-minute survey will help shape the university’s response. Didn’t take the first survey last semester? No worries. This is a new survey with different questions. All students ages 18–24 are eligible to take this survey until March 4. Link to survey. Note: this survey is not the one launched by a biochemistry class recently in the campus COVID update. Questions? Contact researchers Laura Weidemann at lweide70228@viterbo.edu or Matthew Bersagel Braley at mtbersagelbraley@viterbo.edu or 608-796-3707.
