Nearly all student employees at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville are required to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Chancellor Donde Plowman announced.
Students must be fully vaccinated by Jan. 18 for the university to comply with federal law. That means students must receive their second dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or a single dose of Johnson & Johnson, by Jan. 4 to allow time for the vaccine to take effect.
The UT Health Science Center in Memphis sent out a similar email last week for its staff and student employees, as well as some students who participate in federally funded clinics.
