OSU to Require Students, Faculty to Report COVID-19 Vaccine Status for Fall Return

Vaccine statuses must be submitted by August 5

On Tuesday, the Ohio State University said all students, faculty and staff will be required report their COVID-19 vaccine status as part of the school's reactivation plans for the fall semester.

President Kristina Johnson announced in a letter to the university community that vaccine statuses must be submitted by August 5. The requirement, according to Johnson, is necessary so the university can "make informed decisions related to COVID-19 and further enable contact tracing."

Additionally, the university will continue to practice pre-arrival and move-in testing for the coronavirus. Students who are unvaccinated will also need to complete weekly surveillance testing and wear a mask.
