Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said yesterday that requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for students and employees at Louisiana State University is not legal.
In a news release from his office, AG Landry said he is urging LSU to not mandate COVID vaccines at the school. Attorney General Landry explained that some people hold sincere religious beliefs against taking vaccines in general. He also noted that other people are concerned regarding the potential long-term health effects on their bodies of COVID vaccines, which have not been subject to long-term testing.
In a letter to Interim President Thomas Galligan, Landry said LSU should not require COVID vaccinations for students or condition participation in education programs or continued employment on taking COVID vaccines.
