HIGH POINT â Students at High Point University wonât be required to have a COVID-19 vaccination to return to campus for the academic year that starts in about a month.
COVID-19 vaccinations arenât required but can be scheduled through HPU Student Health Services, the university said in a statement to The High Point Enterprise. During the second semester of the previous academic year, when vaccines became widely accessible, HPU encouraged students to get vaccinations and set up events on campus to promote it.
HPU follows the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services immunization guidelines for higher education, which do not require a COVID-19 vaccination, the university said in its statement. University officials will monitor any change in guidelines from health authorities.

Beginning Tuesday, adult Forsyth County residents become eligible for a $25 gift card for getting their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
The Forsyth Health Department said Friday it has 1,000 of the gift cards, which can be used anywhere a debit MasterCard is accepted.
People taking someone for their first shot are also offered the gift card, even if they already had their first dose. Drivers are eligible for a card for each person they take for a first dose.
The state Department of Health and Human Services said the $25 card for the driver “helps offset the costs for those who help family, friends and neighbors find their spot for a vaccine and drive them to their shots.”
