COVID-19 Vaccines

Please watch these informational videos on COVID-19 vaccines from the Orange County Department of Health and the Institute for Vaccine Safety:

COVID-19 vaccines are no longer required to attend any SUNY school in-person. However, we highly encourage everyone to stay current with your COVID-19 vaccines as vaccination is the best protection from this highly contagious disease. COVID-19 is still rapidly spreading, and we have no way of knowing if the SUNY Vaccination Policy will change in the future.

*Please note that if you are going to be participating in an internship or clinical practicum outside of SUNY Orange, you will be required to follow the requirements of the outside setting.
