University of Oregon requiring COVID booster

University of Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — As the highly transmissible omicron variant spreads across the country, University of Oregon students, faculty and staff will be required to get a COVID-19 booster shot as soon as they are eligible. That’s according to an announcement Monday by school officials. Currently the university and the state’s six other public universities require COVID-19 vaccinations for those on campus. As of Monday afternoon, the University of Oregon is the only public university in the state to publicly announce a booster requirement. Last Friday, Gov. Kate Brown and state health officials urged Oregonians to get booster shots immediately.
