Despite the fact that children are not contracting or dying from the coronavirus, New Jersey State Senator Joseph Vitale believes the COVID vaccine should “be included in that list of vaccines that are required for children” and he would “like to incorporate it into the other vaccination bill that would require children to get vaccinated as a condition to entering school.”
Vitale said there is also an effort to make vaccines mandatory for all college students who attend school in the Garden State.
New Jersey currently requires several vaccines in order to attend school in the state. Governor Phil Murphy recently signed an order that will essentially list all those in the state who take the vaccine be added in its “New Jersey Immunization System,” which was criticized by detractors in the state for “putting the cart before the horse.”
Sue Collins, the co-Founder of the New Jersey Coalition for Vaccine Choice, told reporters, “No medical procedure should ever be mandated for anyone –especially something so new, with so many unknowns and no long-term knowledge at all.”
