Duke University set a new deadline for faculty and staff to show proof they received a COVID-19 vaccine and made it official that they’ll be fired if they don’t get vaccinated.

More than 91% of Duke’s 22,136 university employees are vaccinated, and now every employee must receive and show documentation of their completed COVID-19 vaccination by 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, the university announced Sunday.

All faculty and staff were previously expected to show proof of vaccination by Sept. 1, but it’s now a formalized condition of their employment.

If employees don’t comply, they will be terminated and will not be eligible for rehire with Duke in the future, the announcement said.
