OXFORD, Ohio (WDTN) – Monday, October 25 marks the deadline for all Miami University faculty, staff, and in-person students to have received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

According to a release by Miami University, the full dose must be completed by November 22.

“All of us would like to return to pre-pandemic conditions where we can all be together, collaborating in our vibrant learning community focused on mission and purpose,” Miami University President Gregory Crawford said. “Vaccination is a necessary tool to move us toward that goal.”

The university did say that exemptions may be granted in the case of medical documentation or sincerely held religious, philosophical, or ethical beliefs.

The university has also allowed deferrals for pregnancy, nursing, or those who have had COVID-19 within 90 days before October 25.
