Receiving a vaccine for the virus that causes COVID-19 is a key step people can take to protect themselves, their friends and family, and our campus communities while helping bring the pandemic to an end, Dr. Michael Drake, University of California President, via NPR News.
The directive has been referred to as
"the most comprehensive and consequential university
plan for COVID-19 vaccines in the country.".
It comes at the tail end of this year's spring semester
to allot for the time needed for the student body
to schedule and receive their vaccines.
Vaccination records for COVID-19 will require
updates just like other infectious diseases such as measles.
Universities all over the nation are
facing the question of whether or not to
require vaccines for in-person classes in the fall.
