Nearly all incoming freshmen at Ohio State will soon have to be fully vaccinated.
OSU says beginning in the fall, all first-year students who attend at least half-time with one on-campus course will have to be fully vaccinated. OSU says new students will be required to submit proof of vaccinations, and any students who don’t will have a hold placed on their account.
The school says it will still grant exemptions for religious and medical reasons.
The Columbus campus was the epicenter of a mumps outbreak last year that sickened nearly 500 people.
