Denison University has announced because of the nature of its campus and learning culture, it will require student vaccinations for COVID-19.
As health conditions and official health orders and recommendations are rapidly evolving, educators are scrambling to review plans and set or adapt policies to meet a changing health terrain.
These changes are coming as COVID variants with potentially higher transmission rates and more severe health consequences continue to spread.
Ginny Sharkey, Director, Student & University Relations at Denison, issued a university statement on July 29 regarding the university’s COVID policy for 2021 students:
“As a fully residential university, where all students live together in communal dormitories and apartments, all students are required to be fully vaccinated as to COVID-19 for the coming academic year or have an authorized exemption.”
