With or without mandates, universities are anxious to maximize vaccination. The State University of New York, another major public system, plans to enforce an immunization mandate at its campuses, contingent on full FDA approval of a vaccine. SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras said he believes about 60 percent or more of students have received at least one shot so far. The share will climb, he said, as officials point out that unvaccinated students will be required to undergo viral testing, wear masks and follow other public health restrictions. “The ultimate goal is to get everyone vaccinated,” he said.
