New Jersey’s governor and the New York City mayor announced on Monday that they will be requiring all school employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine following the FDA’s approval of the drug. New Jersey will allow those who do not want to take the vaccine the option of COVID-19 testing as an alternative.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told reporters he would be signing an executive order requiring all employees of public, private, and parochial schools, from preschools through grade 12, to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18.
