EWU reverses decision, now requires students & staff to get COVID vaccine

Eastern Washington University has reversed its previous decision, and is now requiring students and staff to get the COVID vaccine by this fall.

There will be exemptions for religious and medical reasons.

“At this point, as the situation and information has evolved, I understand that it is in the best interest of the full university community to add a requirement for vaccinations to the incentives that are already in place,” said EWU interim President David May.
