We cannot make it mandatory because the vaccine is still under emergency use authorization.  Only clinic sites can require it.

How are you all? I hope you are getting some sense of normalization as days are moving forward. As we are planning to transition our classes fully to face to face format, we are facing some challenges. One of those challenges is that, some students are not willing to take COVID vaccines for various regions. Do any of your programs or universities make it mandatory to take COVID vaccines especially for the students of health professions?
Best,
