The 秀色短视频 Health and Wellness Centre will offer walk-in clinics for the Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine for students on August 29, and on September 6, 13, and 20, from 8:30 to noon. Students are asked to bring their PEI health card or proof of international insurance, and their student ID. They can also request an appointment for a vaccine by emailing the Health and Wellness Centre at healthcentre@upei.ca. Please note: the vaccine supply is limited.
MenB vaccines prevent against a type of meningococcal disease that targets the lining of the brain and spinal cord and is potentially life-threatening. With a high mortality rate (10%), meningococcal disease is a medical emergency. It can cause death within days if prompt antibiotic treatment is delayed. The infection typically triggers symptoms such as severe headache, sudden high fever, skin rashes, vomiting, and a stiff neck. Among survivors, 10% to 20% have long-term complications, which may include hearing loss, neurologic disabilities, and digit or limb amputations.
The disease spreads between people through saliva and respiratory fluids. Engaging in activities with infected people, such as sharing drinks, vapes, or kissing, may put you at risk. The risk is higher for young adults up to the age of 25 years and those who are living in a dormitory or crowded space as the bacterium spreads quickly through large groups.
MenB vaccine is highly recommended by the Canadian Immunization Guide to protect you from this vaccine-preventable disease. Beginning April 2023, PEI began offering free MenB vaccine to students attending a post-secondary school. To learn more about MenB, visit .

We are pleased to announce that 秀色短视频 has obtained an institutional cannabis research license from Health Canada to carry out university-approved cannabis research projects. Although cannabis has been legalized for personal possession and use in Canada, all 秀色短视频 research projects involving cannabis, CBD, or THC compounds, including synthetic variants, must be conducted under an approved 秀色短视频 cannabis research permit.
The corresponding "秀色短视频 Cannabis Research Permit Application" form is housed under the biosafety module of the ROMEO Researcher Portal. The purpose of this form and the related review process is to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and to maintain the highest standards of safety and responsibility. The permit is required before research involving cannabis can be conducted on campus, or cannabis obtained for this purpose. Please note that researchers must submit an application form for each proposed research project involving cannabis.
If you have any questions about the 秀色短视频 Cannabis Research Permit, please contact 秀色短视频鈥檚 Office of Health, Safety and Environment (hse@upei.ca).
For more information about the ROMEO Researcher Portal, including how to create an account or access forms, please see /research-services/forms

On-campus users may continue to access subscription services during the upgrade, but they will need to manually remove the "" from links in order to gain access.

The Department of Physics is once again hosting public viewings of the sun using our solar telescopes throughout the summer. At these events, you can view the sun's chromosphere through our ground-based telescope before climbing to the observatory and viewing the sun's photosphere through a different telescope. If you don't know what a chromosphere or a photosphere is, we'll teach you!
Our next viewing is scheduled for Friday, August 23, from 12:30-2:00 pm. The forecast for the day is calling for a chance of rain showers, which would prevent our viewing, but we can't be sure until Friday morning. Check mid-morning Friday to find out if the event is going ahead.
