Yesterday LSU officially announced it will mandate a COVID-19 vaccine for all eligible faculty and students.
The university said previously it wanted to wait until one of the vaccines was officially approved by the FDA.
LSU announced students and faculty have until September 10 to submit proof of their first dose of a COVID vaccine. They have until October 15 to show proof of full vaccination. Students do have the option to opt out of getting the vaccine by taking a monthly COVID test.
LSU’s announcement yesterday will probably mean other universities in Louisiana follow their lead with similar mandates.
