LEWISTON – Bates College will mandate that all of its students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before they return to campus for the fall semester.
“The very nature of our residential community makes this requirement necessary to protect the health of students and the broader Bates and local communities,” Vice President for Campus Life Joshua McIntosh told students Tuesday.
In addition, he said, “having a fully vaccinated student body puts us in a better position to return to the many activities and experiences that existed on our campus before the pandemic, but were not possible this academic year.”
