University of Saskatchewan joins other Canadian post-secondaries requiring vaccination

SASKATCHEWAN — The University of Saskatchewan will be requiring all students, staff and faculty to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when classes resume next month.

Officials say proof of a first dose must be supplied by Sept. 7, and proof of a second dose by Oct. 18.

Those who do not get their shots will instead have to frequently show they have received negative COVID-19 tests.
