Liberty Coalition Canada (LCC) is helping students request religious exemptions from vaccination after Western University announced that a third COVID-19 booster dose is needed to be considered vaccinated.

As of Sept. 28, Western was the only university in Canada to require all its students, faculty, and staff to have a third dose of the vaccine. The University of Toronto had a three-dose vaccine requirement, but only for those living on campus, and out of 8,400 students, 1 percent requested an exemption.
