The University of Virginia (UVA) disenrolled 238 students for the fall semester for not getting COVID-19 vaccines, reports CNN. Like other schools across the nation, UVA's COVID-19 policies require that "all students who live, learn, or work in person at the university" be fully vaccinated for the upcoming 2021-2022 academic year.
Currently, about 96.6% of UVA's student body is vaccinated, and1.3% has been allowed to claim religious or medical exemptions. Those exempted students, however, must still wear a mask at all times and be tested once a week.
Unvaccinated students who were enrolled still have a week to update their vaccination status and reenroll, added Coy.
