2.4 Million US College Students Face Vaccine Mandate, Immune or Not

The Epoch Times

More than 180 college and university campuses across the United States are requiring more than 2.4 million students to produce proof of vaccination against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus to attend in-person classes this fall, regardless of whether the students have acquired immunity to the virus.

The number of schools with a mandate is likely to grow by then, especially if the Food and Drug Administration grants full approval for one or more vaccines in the coming months. None of the schools currently accept acquired immunity as an exemption from the vaccination mandate, even amid evidence that prior infection results in broad and lasting protection from the virus, according to an Epoch Times review of more than 130 university vaccine mandate notices and immunization requirement pages.

Only a handful of the four dozen schools contacted for this article offered direct responses for why infection-conferred immunity isnโ€™t being considered as an exemption. The vast majority responded by referencing their immunization exemption rules, which donโ€™t address acquired immunity. When pressed for an answer, several schools said they couldnโ€™t offer more information, while others said they are still finalizing their policies.

The few that responded pointed to guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which advises people to still be vaccinated because โ€œexperts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19.โ€

COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

โ€œBSU will not be offering exemption based on prior infection,โ€ Dr. Christopher Frazer, executive director of the Wellness Center at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, told The Epoch Times.

โ€œFor students who have already had COVID-19, we are still requiring that they be vaccinated and recommend they talk to a doctor about when it is best to do so,โ€ Daniel Telles, assistant director of media relations at the University of San Diego, told The Epoch Times in an email. โ€œEven if members of our university community have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possibleโ€”although rareโ€”that they could again be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.โ€
