Duquesne University on Thursday joined a group of Western Pennsylvania colleges that will require covid-19 vaccines for all students returning to campus this fall, but policies remain varied depending on the university.
The American College Health Association, which represents health and wellness professionals at 550 U.S. colleges and universities, recommends that residential colleges and universities offering face-to-face instruction this fall adopt such requirements wherever possible. To date, however, only about 460 schools have done so.
Locally, Carnegie Mellon and Chatham already had announced they will require covid vaccines for all returning students this fall. Carlow, another private university located in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood, is strongly recommending them for all students but requiring them only for athletes and residential students.
