Rutgers University will be the first in nation to require on-campus students get COVID vaccine for fall semesterWOODLAND PARK, N.J. — Rutgers University officials announced Thursday that all students who take on-campus classes in the fall will be required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 — apparently the first mandate of its kind in the nation —while faculty and staff members are "strongly urged" to get one of the available vaccines.
A national organization that advocates for the health of college students said it was not aware of any other schools that require COVID vaccinations currently.
"While we know it has been a topic of discussion among campus decision-makers, at this point in time, we are not aware of any other colleges or universities that are mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for students," Rachel Mack, a spokeswoman for the organization, the American College Health Association, said in an email.
Rutgers already requires other kinds of vaccinations, including for measles, mumps and rubella, according to its website.
It has been difficult to to receive the COVID vaccines in New Jersey, which still limits vaccinations to those who are at least 65 years old or who have a preexisting condition, such as asthma or diabetes, as well as smokers. But state officials have said they expect to get additional supplies and ramp up vaccinations in the next few weeks, and federal officials have said they anticipate vaccines to be available to all Americans by the end of May.
“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.
The university announced the requirement in a news release, which said students "may request an exemption from vaccination for medical or religious reasons." It said students who are enrolled in online courses will not be required to be vaccinated.
The release does not specify a requirement for faculty and staff but said they are "strongly urged to get the vaccine as vaccine supplies are made available to the wider population."

Should US share its COVID-19 vaccine supply with the world? The White House says it will – but not yet.The White House defended its America-first COVID-19 vaccination strategy this week, calling it justified because of the country's terrible outbreak and promising to share shots after Americans are protected.
Global leaders and residents of other countries voice increasing criticism of the United States and other wealthy nations for buying up most of the world's supply of COVID-19 vaccines.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, has been particularly condemning, saying rich countries are directly responsible for the deaths of high-risk people in low- and middle-income countries. 
"Countries that are now vaccinating younger, healthy people at low risk of disease are doing so at the cost of the lives of health workers, older people and other at-risk groups in other countries," he said Monday at a news conference.
As long as the pandemic rages out of control anywhere, he pointed out, variants can emerge that pose risks to those who've been infected or vaccinated. "The inequitable distribution of vaccines is not just a moral outrage. It’s also economically and epidemiologically self-defeating," Tedros said.

Just seen on the new that 52% of Trump voters are saying they wont take the Vaccine.  Really hoping the airlines and public venues will require vaccine passports. 

Love Darwinism at work.

Between Moderna shots. First one couldn't move my arm for two days. No side effects though.

So they say 24 hrs before you can have a beer.  Is that an old wives tale or is there any science to support that assertion? 

I always enjoyed a beer chaser after a shot.
