For all healthcare related educational
and clinical programs (i.e. nursing, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiology, cardiopulmonary, EKG/EEG technician, and medical assistants) acceptance requires a strict vaccination record and often additional vaccines. These include Tdap, Heb B, MMR, Varicella, Influenza, Covid 19, Meningitis, and many others. Even if you wish to begin these programs as a second career, they are mandatory to even be considered to work in a clinical setting. I myself had to recieve many of these vaccines in my 30s. And you cannot decline, or you will not be accepted.
Any colleges or programs that take government funding should be unable to enforce this arbitrary rule of forced vaccination. The practice does NOT ensure the health of the person, and often makes them less healthy over time. The pressure to comply is tremendous.

How on God’s green earth do people need to be vaccinated to sit in a classroom or even Zoom school? I can maybe understand if people are working with Rabies-infected animals or something like that, but this makes no sense for a school.
