Governor Cuomo says both CUNY and SUNY will require all in-person students to be vaccinated against coronavirus, beginning this fall.
He mentioned the policy when discussing the state's ongoing efforts aimed at getting younger people to take the shot.
Cuomo says vaccination rates have slowed recently, after the more at-risk portion of the population had a high level of interest in getting the shot.
Some experts remain highly focused on trying to achieve so-called herd immunity, so as to potentially keep COVID variants from spreading.
