Effective August 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full
approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for people age 16 and over. Since December
of 2020, the Pfizer vaccine has been available through Emergency Use Authorization,
and more than 200 million doses have been administered in the U.S. alone.
The University of Louisiana System previously requested that the Louisiana Department
of Health (LDH), upon full approval by the FDA, add COVID-19 to the schedule of required
immunizations for students at Grambling State University and other UL System institutions.
LDH granted this request.
As a result of FDA approval, COVID-19 is now on the schedule of required immunizations
for college students in Louisiana.
Accordingly, all students are encouraged to be vaccinated for COVID-19 as soon as
possible. Documentation of immunization against COVID-19 must be provided prior to
November 22, 2021 to register for the spring semester and all terms moving forward.
Alternatively, students may provide one of the following:
- documentation from a physician of medical contraindication for the vaccine, or
- written dissent for taking the vaccine.
