CSU Chancellor Joseph Castro announced Thursday afternoon that all students, faculty and staff will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccination for Fall 2021.
The blanket policy, which will go into effect once COVID-19 vaccines receive final FDA approval, will apply to all 33 CSU and UC campuses, according the CSU’s press release. The requirement is also contingent on the U.S. continuing to have sufficient supply of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Consistent with previous CSU announcements related to the university’s response to the pandemic, we are sharing this information now to give students, their families and our employees ample time to make plans to be vaccinated prior to the start of the fall term,” Castro said.
