CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Two-thirds of University of Wyoming students and almost 90% of employees report being vaccinated against COVID-19, the university said.
Students and staff were surveyed anonymously as they were tested for COVID-19 in the days prior to Monday’s start of the fall semester, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.
Fewer students have reported to the university’s health department that they have received vaccines and officials urge students to make those notifications.
The university reported 72 active cases of COVID-19 as of Monday, including 48 students who live off-campus.
The school will continue an indoor mask mandate at least through Sept. 20, said UW President Ed Seidel. The university has encouraged, but not mandated vaccines.
