After saying that they wouldn't, Brandon University is implementing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the coming fall term.

The university announced Thursday that faculty, staff and students will be required to provide either proof of full vaccination or proof of a recent negative COVID test before they can come to campus.

The university also said full vaccination will be required no later than October 31st. Vaccination clinics will take place on campus from September 7th to the 9th for students and staff who have not received their vaccines.

Masks will also be mandatory on campus when the fall term begins.

Multiple universities and colleges in Manitoba, including the University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, Red River College, and Assiniboine Community College, announced last week they would implement a mandatory vaccine policy when classes resume next month.
