The Wyoming Union (pictured right) welcomes visitors to the University of Wyoming in Laramie on February 14, 2015. Most UW students and faculty members stated that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The University of Wyoming said on Monday that two-thirds of University of Wyoming students and nearly 90% of employees said they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The results come from an anonymous survey conducted during the five-day test period before the start of the fall semester on Monday. The survey found that the proportion of students and faculty members who were vaccinated was higher than the proportion of self-reporting to the school’s student health service and human resources department.
At the same time, the test found 42 positive cases of COVID-19 among students, faculty and staff. These tests were taken when the school was preparing to resume face-to-face teaching.
Ed Seidel, President of the University of Washington, said in a statement: “We are encouraged by the results of this one-time testing campaign and related investigations on vaccination.” “Although the numbers are incomplete, they indicate that we started the semester. Face-to-face courses and activities can be conducted under the conditions.
The university has been preparing for its return to campus for several months. These plans are complicated by the surge in infections and hospitalizations caused by the delta variant, a more infectious strain of the new coronavirus that appeared here in March 2020.
Nearly two weeks ago, the school board voted to require indoor masks at the beginning of the semester. This task, which covers students and employees, currently lasts at least until September 20th.
The university does not mandate vaccination. Instead, it encourages its community to participate and provides cash and prizes for this.
As the semester is about to begin, the university tested nearly 9,300 students and employees. The university reported that as of Monday, there were 70 active cases in the University of Washington community, of which 45 were students living in off-campus dormitories.
An anonymous survey conducted during the testing program found that 4,402 students or 66% of students stated that they had been vaccinated. A total of 1,789 employees (88%) stated that they had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
“We have a good idea. Many of our students and employees have not reported their vaccinations. Investigations have shown that this is indeed the case,” Seidel said in a statement. “We strongly encourage everyone not only to get vaccinated, but also to report their vaccination status.”
These numbers are much higher than the entire state. According to data from the Wyoming State Department of Health, as of Monday, approximately 35% of the state’s population had been fully vaccinated. Nearly 46% of residents of Albany County, where the university is located, received a comprehensive vaccine. This is the second highest percentage in the state, far behind Teton County (71.6%).
