A Michigan State University academic governance group is recommending requiring anyone on campus this fall to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Michigan State University Council voted 87 to 11 during a special meeting Tuesday to recommend mandatory vaccinations for all students, faculty, and staff participating in on-campus activities. The resolution exempts certain individuals, like people with religious objections or those medically unable to get a vaccine.
MSU Faculty Senate Chair Professor Jennifer Johnson supports the resolution.
“I either know, or family or close friends of people I know, at least 20 to 30 of them have died of COVID. So I have just seen tremendous loss from this disease.”
