Universities throughout Central Virginia are offering different guidance to students on whether they should get the COVID-19 vaccine before they return to in-person classes.
During a press event Thursday, Gov. Ralph Northam said he’s leaving it up to colleges and universities to decide whether they want to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations, though he says he supports schools that require the shot.
“The faster that we can get people to get vaccinated, the sooner we can decrease the number of variants and put this behind us. While the outcome for young people is certainly better, if they contract COVID-19, they are vectors. They can take it to different places, take it to their families,” Northam said.
