SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2021 | 9A LCC announces COVID-19 vaccine requirement EUGENE—Lane Com- munity College announced that it will require all stu- dents attending on-cam- pus classes to be vacci- nated against COVID-19 when fall term begins in September. The policy move was approved by the LCC Board of Education at its July 21 meeting. “LCC has been actively encouraging students and employees to get vaccinat- ed as soon as they are eli- gible and able. Starting Fall term, students coming to campus will need to veri- fy their vaccinated status unless they are claiming a medical or non-medical exemption. In an effort to make COVID-19 vaccines more accessible to its commu- nity, LCC will continue to offer vaccines through its Student Health Clinic. LCC is the only community col- lege in Oregon to have an on-campus health clinic. “COVID cases are in- creasing in every state of the country as a result of the highly-contagious Delta variant,” said Health Clinic Director Laura Greene. “Vaccines not only protect students, they protect others including family members, class- mates and the rest of Lane County. They are the best layer of protection we have against the virus, and we have enough data to show vaccines are safe and effec- tive.” Many local colleges and universities have an- nounced COVID-19 vac- cination requirements for fall term, including the University of Oregon, Or- egon State University and Pacific University. Other community colleges have announced vaccine re- quirements for athletes, students in on-campus housing, and allied health students. Vaccinations will also be required for faculty and staff. Details of that requirement will be deter- mined in consultation with faculty and staff unions. For more information, visit www.lanecc.edu.
