If a student isn't vaccinated, then he or she cannot attend class. NJ has been doing pretty well among the states in getting people vaccinated, and so let's hope this target is realistic.

I work for in HR for a large healthcare organization and we are not going to mandate the COVID 19 vaccine while it is under Emergency Use Authorization. But once it is fully approved, likely will be added to the list of things like seasonal flu and MMR that we require employees to get vaccinated against as a condition of employment.
My guess is even without Rutgers mandating it for faculty & staff, the vaccination rate among those two groups will be pretty significant, esp. faculty. Staff numbers across campus must be greater than faculty so if they can get 6/7 out of 10 to vaccinate it should help toward the herd immunity goal.That suggests our workforce is close to having "herd "immunity levels already.
Also says something about the relative educational levels of the vaccine hesitant.
Will the faculty and staff follow a similar pattern? I'd like to think so.
And who knows maybe, after some in-house polling or surveys, Rutgers knows most of their folks have already or are in the process of getting the vaccine.My guess is even without Rutgers mandating it for faculty & staff, the vaccination rate among those two groups will be pretty significant, esp. faculty.
