Wesleyan University Requiring Students To Be Vaccinated By Fall

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Wesleyan University in Middletown is the first school in Connecticut that is requiring students to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by the fall semester, according to FOX 61.

FOX 61 reports the school is requiring students to be vaccinated in an effort to return to residential life and a “close knit” campus environment.

Wesleyan President Michael S. Roth addressed the subject in a recent blog post to prospective students.

“Many students today are wondering what campus life will be like in the fall, and I can say that we at Wesleyan are planning for a normal university year,” Roth wrote in the post. “Sure, we expect to continue to take health precautions, including ensuring that all students are vaccinated before they begin the semester. And we will monitor the pandemic’s course throughout the coming months.”
