US colleges divided over requiring student vaccinations

7. My daughter is at Ohio State

And they (so far) are not demanding it. They are strongly encouraging it and making a big push. My daughter was able to get her this weekend.

It is likely they won't require it being a public university in a red state. Most of the schools I see that are requiring it seem to be private schools. Rutgers in that article seems to be the only exception.

What OSU is doing instead is putting the hold outs through extra testing protocols. They will continue to make them test at a high rate that they will not have for the verified vaccinated. Furthermore, they will still be subjected to stringent quarantine and isolation if they get exposed.

I participate in a parents group on Facebook and got into with a snotty anti vaxxer parent who took issue with this. She thought it was unfair that the non-vaccinated kids were going to be treated differently. I told her the non-vaccinated kids were different and were being treated according to the risk they represent for the community. She did not like that very much. She should get used to the idea because things are going to get tense this summer when all these assholes leave us shy of herd immunity and the pressure ramps up.
