© Colin Butler/CBC Students are frustrated by Western University's decision to make a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine mandatory. Students at Western University are disappointed with the school's decision to implement masking and booster dose requirements for the fall semester, and waiting until after the tuition deadline to announce the measures. Second-year student, Nathalia Aranda says she's confused about the justification that led to the decision and feels the university hasn't given students a solid answer. He believes this mandate is unwarranted and wonders why Western dropped its mask mandate in June, only to reverse it two months later. The updated policy requires all students, faculty, and staff to submit current proof of vaccination to the university by Oct. 1, 2022.
