They're calling it a milestone.
Carnegie Mellon University telling the Post-Gazette it has basically snuffed out COVID-19 on its campus.
As of this week, 98 percent of students, faculty and staff are fully vaccinated.
"Carnegie Mellon's faculty, staff and students have been incredibly responsive in meeting COVID-19 vaccination compliance obligations, helping us reach such a high vaccination rate," said Daryl Weinert, CMU's vice president for operations, interim vice president for research and COVID-19 coordinator in a statement on the school’s website. "We are grateful for their continued vigilance, which has allowed our community to come together for in-person activities and our campus to come alive once again this fall."
Six months earlier, CMU became one of the early campuses in Western PA to announce it would mandate vaccinations.
The rate represents near universal immunization against the virus.
