Rutgers University in New Jersey has become the first major college in the U.S. to require all of its students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend classes on campus this fall, the UPI website reports today (March 26, 2021).
Administrators said President Joe Biden's mandate for everyone to be eligible for a vaccine shot by May will give students enough time to get the shot.
"We are committed to health and safety for all members of our community, and adding COVID-19 vaccination to our student immunization requirements will help provide a safer and more robust college experience for our students," Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway said in a statement.
