Emory University officials announced Thursday the school will be removing COVID-19 vaccine requirements for its students, faculty, and staff.
Emory University President Gregory Fenves released a statement based on guidance from Emory's medical and public experts.
- Emory University will no longer require COVID-19 vaccinations for students, faculty, and staff. However, Emory Healthcare COVID-19 vaccine requirements will still be enforced for health sciences students in School of Medicine and School of Nursing, and those university employees already subject to EHC immunization requirements.
- Emory will no longer require students, faculty, and staff to report COVID-19-positive tests or complete isolation clearance forms to return to campus.
- Emory will remove all COVID-19 vaccine requirements for minors and non-Emory affiliated program participants staying in overnight on-campus housing.
In the statement, Fenves urged all students, faculty, and staff to stay up-to-date with their vaccinations, stay home when sick, and to follow the most current CDC guidelines.
"As always, our public health teams will continue to monitor COVID-19 conditions, and we may need to adapt our response again in the future," Fenves said.
