Requires students, staff, and others present at institutions of higher education to receive COVID-19 vaccine.

This bill requires all students, staff, and other individuals participating in-person at New Jersey's public and private colleges and universities to be vaccinated against COVID-19 starting with the 2022-2023 school year. Institutions must offer the vaccine through campus health services or community providers and cannot enroll or employ unvaccinated individuals without valid exemptions. Exemptions are permitted only for documented medical reasons (via physician statement) or genuine religious conflicts (not general objections), and apply only to those with in-person presence. The requirement takes immediate effect, with institutions responsible for verifying vaccination status and managing exemptions.
