Portland State University announced Wednesday that it will require all students attending classes at its downtown Portland campus to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when fall term classes begin in September.
In an effort to make COVID-19 vaccines more accessible to its community, PSU will host a vaccine clinic on campus this month that will be open to all students, staff and faculty, along with their family members.
“All of us are eager to put the COVID-19 pandemic behind us and come together again in person as a campus community,” said PSU President Stephen Percy. “Widespread vaccination is our clearest and best path toward that future. These vaccines have been proven safe and effective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, and PSU is committed to being a partner in the public health of our region.”
