NEW YORK (Reuters) -Students at the State University of New York and the City University of New York must get vaccinated against the coronavirus to attend classes this fall, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Monday.
The requirement, affecting more than 435,000 full-time students, comes as Cuomo and other officials offer a slew of incentives aimed at encouraging people to get inoculated as they see vaccine demand declining.
“So, today, no excuses,” Cuomo said at a briefing. “SUNY and CUNY boards will require vaccinations for all in-person students coming back to school in the fall.”

ALBANY, N.Y. (WKBW) â New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) boards will require COVID-19 vaccinations for all in-person students beginning this fall.
The governor said he encourages private colleges and universities to do the same.
According to Cuomo, the federal government will have to give the COVID-19 vaccines full approval rather than the current Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the mandate to be put in place. He says he believes the vaccines will receive full approval soon.
