WWU joins other Washington universities in making the call on required COVID vaccines

Western Washington University will require students, staff and faculty to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when in-person classes resume in fall.

WWU President Sabah Randhawa made the announcement at the university’s website.

“This decision was endorsed by the WWU board of trustees at a special meeting on Wednesday, May 5, in the belief that it will protect the health and safety of the community on- and off-campus and speed our return to more normal in-person operations,” Randhawa said.
