Yes. It is the policy of the California State University to require that all students, faculty and staff members who access campus must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a medical or religious exemption. The definition of fully vaccinated includes all boosters recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including the Bivalent booster. You are eligible for the Bivalent booster if it has been more than two months since your last dose of vaccine.
