During a virtual town hall Tuesday, Penn State administrators provided a glimpse into student and employee vaccination rates for the first time.
About 77% of surveyed students said they’re fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Vice President for Student Affairs Damon Sims.
The survey, sent out to more than 87,000 Penn State students, garnered an overall 42% response rate and a 54% response rate at University Park.
More than 37,000 students responded to the survey by July 31. 82% of University Park respondents said they’re vaccinated, while 66% of Commonwealth Campus respondents said they’re fully covered, too.
“We’re mindful of the fact that this survey may have a response bias built into it, but we still think this is a valuable data point,” Sims said, noting
