EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University (MSU) has dropped its vaccination requirement for COVID-19.
In a letter to the MSU community, University Physician Michael Brown, M.D. says the vaccination requirement was a necessity amid a surge in cases in summer 2021.
Following years of increased understanding of the disease, coupled with the number of people protected against it, the university says vaccination for COVID-19 is no longer required for students, faculty and staff.
The new policy goes into effect immediately.
MSU notes some exceptions may remain in effect.
The community is still encouraged to be up-to-date on all vaccinations.
