NSU will require COVID vaccinations for all students and staff – including at Clearwater campus

All employees and students must be vaccinated at the university's Florida campuses before returning to in-person learning this fall.

A private college in South Florida will require students and staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when they return to campuses for in-person learning this fall.

Nova Southeastern University, which has become the first school in the country to mandate vaccines for both staff and students, set a vaccination deadline of Aug. 1, according to CBS Miami. However, it's not yet clear when the first day of class will be.

According to the television station, the Broward County-based university recently partnered with the county health department there to open a vaccination location at its main campus to distribute the Johnson & Johnson shot on April 5. Appointments are already fully booked.
