A number of local schools here have gone mandatory for students to have the vaccine for the Fall Semester. Roger Williams, J&W, PC, Brown and Salve Regina. As of right now Rhody and RIC have not required the vaccine, however I am expecting to hear that they will be doing so as well. My Son is scheduled to go back to RIC starting this Fall.
I cant confirm the validity of this. Supposedly a pair of parents (1 attorney, 1 M.D.) for a student at R.W. have forwarded an acknowledgement of liability to the school. If their child suffers any adverse reactions or health related issues in the future due to the vaccine, the school acknowledges their liability for having made it mandatory. I can not beleive that the school would consider signing such an acknowledgement. There has been a significant amount of pushback to the mandate from what I have heard from the wife of a friend who works at the school.
