Rutgers to require COVID-19 vaccine for in-person students
Fox News
Rutgers University said Thursday that all students enrolled for in-person learning in the fall will need to receive the coronavirus vaccine before arriving for the semester.
The requirement doesn't apply to online-only students. Rutgers cited the White House's plan to have all adults eligible for vaccination by the end of May. States have been prioritizing high-risk individuals and front-line workers, although more states have recently expanded the field of who can obtain a vaccine. The school is advising students under 18 years of age to receive the Pfizer vaccine, noting it was the only one out of three -- including Moderna and Johnson & Johnson -- that was approved for 16- and 17-year-olds.More Related News
