Health officials in Nevada are requiring all students at the state’s public universities and colleges to show proof of COVID-19 vaccinations in order to enroll in classes for the spring semester.
The new policy, which was unanimously approved on Aug. 20 by the Nevada Board of Health at an emergency meeting, adds the requirement into an existing regulation (pdf) that mandates certain vaccines as a condition for enrollment. Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, signed the mandate shortly after the vote, saying in a statement that he was “grateful” for the decision.
