NEW YORK CITY, New York: The 435,000 students enrolled at the State University of New York and the City University of New York must have received the Coronavirus vaccination if they wish to attend classes in the fall.
The requirement comes as officials see a drop throughout the state of people being vaccinated.
"So, today, no excuses," New York governor Governor Andrew Cuomo said at a briefing during the week. "SUNY and CUNY boards will require vaccinations for all in-person students coming back to school in the fall."
Cuomo also said that riders of New York City's subways will receive free seven-day passes after being inoculated. Further, vaccinations will be administered at some subway stations.
