Though college students are known to have an affinity for shots, leaders at area colleges and universities aren t mandating they receive a COVID-19 vaccination this fall.
Members of Gov. Tom Wolf s administration announced earlier this month that the state will not require COVID-19 vaccinations for college and university students but are highly encouraging the vaccine, and local schools, both public and private, are following suit and only recommending the shot.
For state schools, like Slippery Rock University, recommendation is the only option. As part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), they can t require the vaccine. The state system has always recommended vaccination, but not required it beyond meningitis, said Kristina Benkeser, the director of Health and Wellness and Student Health Services at SRU. So, it s a little bit different at public universities.
