George Washington University now requires a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot for all eligible members of the campus community, citing recently detected cases of Omicron variant in Washington D.C.
All students, faculty, and staff in university-operated facilities have to get a dose of the COVID-19 booster by Feb. 1, 2022, or be subject to weekly testings and a daily symptom monitoring questionnaire, according to the university’s Dec. 13 message. The booster requirement will not apply to those who currently have a medical or religious exemption to the existing vaccination mandate.
