As we are reaching towards the end of 2021, we still have the problem of COVID-19 holding weight in our society. With that problem being said, the question arises, should schools require the COVID-19 Vaccine for in person learning? In my situation, Baruch, which is located in the heart of NYC, requires proof of vaccination to enter any building on campus and to attend in person classes. Baruch offers in person and online classes and most students schedules are consisted of both types of classes. Before the semester began, students were required to upload photos of our vaccination card to the CUNY First website as proof. Many students question themselves if all of this is necessary to attend class, and this is a problem that is going on all around the world. I personally believe that schools should require the COVID-19 Vaccine for in person learning because it creates a lower chance of people getting sick. Classes range from having 15-200 people depending on if it is a lecture or not. When you are in a room with that many people, everyone is breathing in the same air, and if one person is sick, and some aren’t vaccinated, they are at a higher risk to getting sick.
