The Governor of Washington (along with City of Seattle and King County) announced an hour ago a "requirement" for employees of the State (and contractors with the state) to be fully vaccinated by mid-October. He apparently indicated that substituting testing for the vaccination will not be allowed.
It does not apply to schools (any schools -- including the Universities). Apparently he is letting the Boards of the Universities to make the edict. But he clearly expects the Universities to follow suit.
The key is: he is allowing only exceptions for medical or religious reasons -- not any type of personal or philosophical reasons. So Rolovich is probably going to have to make a serious choice soon.
