The LSU Board of Supervisors voted 9-2 Friday to urge the Louisiana Department of Health to add COVID-19 shots to a list of mandated vaccinations for college students once federal regulators give full approval to the vaccines.
The vote came after the board adopted an amendment to notify students that they could opt out of a mandate for health, religious or other reasons.
Students have long had the ability to opt out of other required vaccines, such as for measles or mumps, but few have realized that or done so. Faculty members fear that notifying students that they can ignore any COVID-19 requirement will undercut the school s efforts to increase vaccination rates as more dangerous variants of the virus spread.
