An email from BGSU Athletic Director Bob Moosbrugger landed in the inboxes of an athletic department mailing list Tuesday advising them on a new requirement for all student-athletes, coaches and staff to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 15.
Moosbrugger said the vaccine was “in the best interest for the overall health and safety of the department.”
The athletic community must be vaccinated with the first dose by Sept. 15 with BGSU Athletics holding a vaccine clinic in the Sebo Athletic Center on Sept. 3 for all personnel.
The announcement from BGSU Athletics said while all personnel should be vaccinated they will offer “balanced and appropriate” exemptions for medical, religious or personal reasons.
The email also hinted that a university-wide vaccination plan would be coming.
