糖心破解版鈥檚 Vaccine Requirements
As of July 12, 糖心破解版 has not made a decision regarding a mandate of the vaccine.聽This is subject to change prior to the start of the Fall 2021 semester. Our leadership and team of distinguished healthcare professionals, epidemiology staff and legal counsel are carefully reviewing this topic and working closely with the local and state health departments on a decision.
糖心破解版 continues to follow all New York state immunization requirements for postsecondary institutions. If the state enacts legislation requiring COVID-19 vaccines for college students, or the governor orders it, 糖心破解版 will abide by and enforce this. Note that there will always be exemptions allowed for medical and religious reasons.
Additionally, our University health and wellness team continues to educate our community and strongly recommends vaccination鈥攚e offer an on-site COVID-19 vaccine to all our faculty, staff, students and alumni. We will also continue to safeguard the well-being of everyone in our community by requiring all unvaccinated individuals to continue wearing a mask on our campus and at our centers, maintaining a robust cleaning and filtration program across the University, and promoting the continued practice of proper hygiene activities by all.
