Duke University: Over 90% of students, faculty and staff are vaccinated
More than 90% of all students, faculty and staff at Duke University are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Posted — Updated
According to Duke Today, 19,905 faculty and staff and 15,309 students are fully vaccinated, and even more people are awaiting their second dose.
Vaccines are currently required for Duke students and faculty. Duke is one of the only major universities in the area to mandate vaccines, but more announcements could come now that the Food and Drug Administration has granted full approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Breakthrough cases in vaccinated people will happen, health officials say, but statistics show the majority of those hospitalized for COVID-19 or who experience serious illness are unvaccinated.
