Universities throughout Central Virginia are offering different guidance to students on whether they should get the COVID-19 vaccine before they return to in-person classes.
During a press event Thursday, Gov. Ralph Northam said he’s leaving it up to colleges and universities to decide whether they want to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations, though he says he supports schools that require the shot.
