Brown University to require student vaccinations for fall semester
Updated 8:00 AM;
Brown University on Tuesday joined a growing number of colleges that will require students to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning for in-person classes next fall.
“Starting in the Fall 2021 semester, Brown will require COVID-19 vaccines for all undergraduate, graduate and medical students who will be on campus or engage in any level of in-person instruction,” Christina Paxson, president of the Ivy League school, wrote in a letter to the campus community posted online.
Medical and religious exemptions will be allowed.
The university is still weighing whether to require employees to be vaccinated. That decision is expected in the summer.
