St. Thomas won’t require COVID-19 vaccines, for now

St. Thomas will not require community members working or learning on campus to get the COVID-19 vaccine “at this time,” a Wednesday email from the University Action and Response Team to St. Thomas community members said. However, all students and employees will be required to report their vaccination status to St. Thomas before the fall semester.

Masks still required on campus following CDC announcement

St. Thomas will continue to require face coverings and social distancing protocols despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s updated guidance and Gov. Tim Walz lifting Minnesota’s statewide mask mandate, according to an email from the University Action and Response Team Friday morning.
