The mandate applies to City University of New York schools in New York City as well.
Students must get vaccinated before the return to campus in the fall.
“You must have a vaccine to come back in September,” Cuomo said during a press conference in New York City. “If you have to get it by September, you may as well get it now.”
Cuomo said he’s also encouraging private colleges to require vaccines this fall.
Colleges in the Syracuse area, including Syracuse University and Le Moyne College, have already announced they will do so. Cornell University in Ithaca is also requiring the shots.

Candidates for mayor of New York City have made their cases this year in Zoom forums and delivered impassioned stump speeches, but there may be no pitch as effortlessly engaging as a candidate joyfully dancing toward a camera, telling New Yorkers she’s “on her way to replace Bill de Blasio as NYC’s first afro latina mayor.” That’s what former nonprofit leader Dianne Morales did in one of her TikTok videos last fall, amassing over half a million views.
Morales has combined effective online communication and organizing with the farthest-left platform in the race to amass a progressive, young fan base that has propelled her from a relatively unknown nonprofit leader to a champion of the left. Morales supporters congregate on online platforms such as TikTok, Twitter and even the audio chatroom Clubhouse. On Twitter especially, fans of the candidate can be spotted easily by their profile photos set against purple, pink and orange gradient backgrounds. This sunset-color

COVID shots available in NYC subway stations as SUNY and CUNY mandates students get vaccinated Denis Slattery
ALBANY Pop-up COVID vaccination sites are coming to transit hubs and subway stations across the city and surrounding suburbs in an effort to expand access to immunizations, Gov. Cuomo announced Monday.
As an incentive, the state will offer a free seven-day Metro Card or round trip LIRR or Metro-North ticket to anyone who chooses to get vaccinated during their daily commute.
“It is a creative idea, we’re trying many creative ideas because we have to get the vaccination rate up,” the governor said during a press briefing from his Manhattan office. “And this situation, we’ve always handled this as a community. Everyone should be doing everything they can to get people vaccinated.”
