Staff and students at the University of California must be fully inoculated in order to return to campus this fall, the university system recently announced.

The move differs from the institution’s position in April, when it said it would only require vaccinations if one of the vaccines received full authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, given that they are currently under emergency use authorization.
