(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – The California State University system announced on Wednesday that all students and faculty members will need a COVID-19 vaccine booster to return to class during the spring semester, joining the UC system and California health care workers in mandating boosters.
The CSU system had previously mandated COVID-19 vaccinations in July, joining a growing list of academic institutions during the summers in vaccinating teachers, staff, and students before the fall semester. However, due to the spread of the new omicron variant, many institutions this week began mandating boosters due to earlier mandated vaccines starting to protect less over time.
According to a CSU press release on Wednesday, all students and faculty at the 23 campuses of the CSU system will have until February 28, 2022, or six months after their final vaccination dose, to get a booster shot. However, the date may be moved up on a campus basis based on local conditions, with booster exemptions to be made for medical and religious reasons.
The policy will be in effect immediately for all students and non-union faculty, with union employees not being subjected to booster requirements until CSU goes through a process with the unions.
