The University of Wisconsin is recommending students and faculty members get their coronavirus shot before heading back to school in the fall, but the university’s president says there are no plans to require them.
UW President Tommy Thompson last week told university regents there will be no vaccine mandate. His office reiterated that message yesterday. Wisconsin lawmakers are considering a plan to ban vaccine requirements in the UW System. Thompson says the university will have an ‘aggressive campaign’ to encourage students to get their shots.
