WSU to require vaccinations for the fall

As colleges in Washington prepare for the fall semester, some are considering whether to require students and staff to prove they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Washington State University announced Wednesday that students and faculty at all campus locations will need to be vaccinated if they plan to attend in-person classes or activities this fall, according to a statement from WSU President Kirk Schulz.

Staff other than faculty will also be required to be vaccinated. It is the first state school to announce a vaccine requirement.
