CUNY, SUNY to Require Vaccines, Contingent on FDA Approval By
New York governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday that the City University of New York and State University of New York boards will require COVID-19 vaccinations for all in-person students starting this fall. Cuomo also said he would recommend private colleges require vaccination. Cuomo said the requirement would go into effect only if one of the COVID vaccines receives full approval from the Food and Drug Administration, according to The Buffalo News. Right now, three vaccines are approved through the FDA's emergency use authorization process, creating a legal gray area for colleges.
