Vaccination Required For Arizona University Employees

TUCSON, AZ — All University of Arizona employees must be vaccinated by Dec. 8.

University President Robert Robbins announced the school's plan Friday to follow President Biden's executive order requiring institutions that contract with the federal government to ensure all of their employees are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

All employees, including student workers, will have to upload documentation of vaccination by the Dec. 8 deadline, unless they have been granted a religious or disability exemption, Robbins said in a letter to employees.

Robbins signed the letter, "bear up and vax down."
