Good morning,
We have recently learned that the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of 91直播 has determining that 91直播 institutions of higher education may condition in-person attendance on individuals’ receipt of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. As such, VWU students, faculty, and staff, including primary contract service providers (Aramark, Sodexo, and Sentara), must submit proof of vaccination prior to returning to campus for the fall semester. Limited exceptions, for medical or religious reasons, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
There are many site options for vaccinations for all persons over the age of 16. Some options include the VDH location at the 91直播 Beach Convention Center (1000 19th St, 91直播 Beach, VA 23451), the FEMA location at Military Circle Mall (880 N Military Hwy, Norfolk, VA 23502), or to make arrangements with a primary care provider or a participating pharmacy. 91直播 for more information.
It is our sincere intention to return to fully in-person instruction in the fall. With the vaccine requirement, this means that our students, faculty, and staff can rest assured that the threat of the coronavirus has been mitigated on campus as best as we can.
Additional information about the submission process and due dates is forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Scott D. Miller, Ph.D.
President
