The University System of Maryland (USM) will require students, faculty, and staff at its 12 institutions to be vaccinated against the CCP virus in the fall semester, according to a press release from the school.
“We’ve been living with COVID for so long now that we forget we’re still in the middle of a public health emergency. But these variants—and the increasing disease burden in young people—are reminding us again that we’re not out of the woods,” USM Chancellor Jay Perman said in a statement.
