JESSICA LEE/WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Michele Catalano, a masters of marriage and family therapy student, collects her green COVID vaccination sticker at the University of Winnipeg before the start of the semester on September 1, 2021. After consultations with staff and students, the university decided to mandate vaccination against COVID-19 as a requirement of attending campus this fall. Instead of having staff and students scan their proof of vaccination QR codes at the entrance, by adding green stickers to the backs of student identification cards, staff and students can flash their cards to security upon entry, making access to the university more efficient.
