Cornell announces end of COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements

Earlier today, university administrators announced the end of the COVID-19 immunization requirement in a university-wide email.

The policy is scheduled to end on May 20, 2023, the end of the spring semester. New students, staff, and faculty “will not need to provide proof of vaccination prior to beginning their studies or employment,” per the email. Cornell students and staff will also not have to “obtain a medical or religious exemption.”
