”The University of Vermont began enforcing its vaccine mandate for faculty and staff this week, and the requirement that its 13,000 students be fully vaccinated went into effect Wednesday.

UVM spokesperson Enrique Corredera said 98% of faculty and staff and “nearly 100%” of students are in compliance with the University’s vaccine mandates.

All employees must have received one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or two doses of Pfizer or Moderna by Jan. 4 to be considered fully vaccinated, according to the university’s policies. Those seeking exemption were required to get approval by the school last week and will be subjected to requirements such as masks and testing.”
