Virginia Tech University on Monday announced that it will no longer require COVID-19 vaccines for students, coming after the state’s new Attorney General Jason Miyares penned a legal opinion saying colleges cannot mandate the shots.
“Virginia Tech will no longer require students to be vaccinated as a condition of enrollment or in-person instruction, effective immediately,” Virginia Tech President Tim Sands said in a letter obtained by The Epoch Times. “Federal regulations may still require students who work in specific settings to be vaccinated, receive the booster when eligible, and upload their health information.”
