BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) Another private college in Maine has said it will require students and staff to be vaccinated against coronavirus this fall.
College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor joined Bowdoin College, which was the first college in Maine to require the new vaccines. College of the Atlantic said on Monday that people working and studying on campus in the fall will be subject to the requirement once the vaccines gain full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Bangor Daily News reported.
Colleges and universities around the country have been announcing similar requirements. The University of Maine System, the largest university system in the state and Maine’s flagship public education institution, has said it is not requiring them at this time.
