CDC and FDA have recommended that the use of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine may resume in the United States, effective April 23, 2021. However, women, especially those under 50 years old, should be aware of the rare risk of blood clots with low platelets after vaccination, and that other COVID-19 vaccines are available where this risk has not been seen. If you received a J&J/Janssen vaccine, here is what you need to know. Read the CDC/FDA statement.

Health Guidelines
The safety of the Boise State community is our top priority. As the semester progresses, every Bronco will play a part in caring for others. Please model healthy behaviors for the well-being of everyone on campus.
Facial Coverings
Everyone is required to wear a facial covering while in Boise State buildings. Facial coverings are also required in outdoor community spaces where physical distancing of at least six feet is not possible. As indicated in the university’s policy on communicable diseases, compliant facial coverings must be:
- clean, reusable or single-use disposable coverings
- cover the nose and mouth
- are closed at the bottom
- do not allow respiratory droplets to escape though vents or other means
Please follow CDC guidance for care and use of facial coverings.
The CDC has also published tips to improve the fit and filtration of your mask and how your mask protects you.
Visitors to any Boise State location are expected to adhere to established, posted guidelines. This includes observing physical distancing measures, wearing facial coverings and possibly answering health screening questions posed by the university’s public health team.
