Our university is mandating vaccination for all students, as is many of the schools in NJ. There are exceptions for medical and religious reasons. Previously, we highly encouraged it, telling the students that many clinical placements were requiring it.

I hope you are getting some sense of normalization as days are moving forward. As we are planning to transition our classes fully to face to face format, we are facing some challenges. One of those challenges is that, some students are not willing to take COVID vaccines for various regions. Do any of your programs or universities make it mandatory to take COVID vaccines especially for the students of health professions?
