Dartmouth College no longer requires its community to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Hanover, New Hampshire, college on April 11 removed all COVID-19 vaccine requirements for students, faculty, and staff. However, COVID-19-related resources like face masks, vaccines, and antigen tests will still be available for all Dartmouth community members.
“Dartmouth continues to strongly recommend that all students, faculty, staff, and visitors stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines according to guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” Provost David Kotz and Executive Vice President Rick Mills wrote.
“We encourage you to have at least two tests and a few masks on hand in case you have symptoms, test positive, or are exposed to someone with COVID-19 and need to wear a mask and test,” they continued.
