In our attempt to lower the risk of COVID-19 spread for all in our BCW family, we realize that our COVID-19 protocols outlined above may pose barriers to accessing BCW for some individuals. For those who have hesitations about getting vaccinated, Johns Hopkins provides this quick review of common concerns. We take these concerns seriously and welcome any feedback that will allow us to protect the health and safety of all in our diverse community. These policies will be reevaluated and revised as necessary.
