MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Community College of Vermont will not be requiring most of its students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 this fall, but it will be encouraging students and staff to get vaccinated.
The announcement by the nonresidential college runs counter to the policies of many other Vermont colleges and universities.
The Burlington Free Press reports the school sent a letter to students earlier this week, saying it would encourage students and staff to be vaccinated and it will follow state guidelines.
“As a non-residential college, CCV does not require proof of vaccinations except in certain state-mandated programs,” said the June 14 letter.
