Tier 1 Canada Research Chair Dr. Cindy Jardine, in partnership with CHASI and UFV’s South Asian Studies Institute, has released a report titled “UFV COVID-19 Student Experiences with Travel, Health, and COVID-19.” The report summarizes the responses given by nearly 1,500 UFV students who participated in a survey issued in April 2020, at the outset of the pandemic.
Some of the key findings indicate:
- Students demonstrated high awareness of COVID-19 symptoms and protective strategies, as known/recommended at the time of the survey
- Most students get their COVID-19 information from the Internet, TV and social media
- Students’ overall vaccination rates for recommended diseases ranged from 60% (e.g. seasonal influenza) to 75% (measles)
