More students & staff will be required to get vaccinated.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The University of Michigan and Michigan State University will require all students, faculty and staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the fall semester.
Both university presidents said Friday the action is being taken due to the spread of the more infectious delta variant.
The state reports 2,250 additional coronavirus cases over three days.
The seven-day average, 573, is up from 219 two weeks ago.
Michigan’s case rate is lower than in all but a few states.
Vaccine mandates are gaining momentum in Michigan.
Last week, more large hospital systems announced that they would require all employees and affiliated physicians to get vaccinated.
