COVID-19 vaccinations no longer required

With the COVID-19 national public health emergency ending on May 11, 2023Clark no longer requires COVID vaccination for students or employees. As we always have done, throughout the pandemic, our decisions are driven by science, available data, and guidance from health experts and governmental health agencies. Reflecting current trends and consistent with what we are hearing from other higher education institutions,

Clark will continue to urge all community members to follow CDC guidelines for COVID-19 vaccination, which recommend that everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines including booster doses. This is important for your own personal health as well as the health of our community.

We are proud and grateful for the extraordinary diligence, understanding, and compassion that the members of our community have demonstrated toward one another throughout the pandemic.
