Up to date, ninety-nine percent of all BUV employees and eighty-five percent of all BUV students have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

If you are not an employee of BUV and are identified as a categorized F1 in relation to BUV’s infected case by Van Giang CDC’s COVID-19 management system, we have been advised that you should inform your local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to get guidance and support as regulated.
