University of New Brunswick University student Kalevi Karhi has both of his COVID-19 vaccines, along with his booster shot.

“I didn’t really do it for myself, it’s just really for like other people that it could compromise if they get it because I’m not really worried about it. I wouldn’t probably be compromised as much if I got it but I’m just doing it for other people. I just want to get back to normal as much as possible.” he said.

Fellow student William Boyle got his booster shot a few months ago, and says he wants to be prepared in case he catches COVID-19.

“If I do get it I want to make sure I’m safe and I keep myself protected but also for the community as a whole.

So, preventing the spread, but also for personal reasons,” he said.
