Old Bridge Township Council takes stance on COVID-19 vaccinations for students
OLD BRIDGE – Members of the Old Bridge Township Council took a stance opposing state Sen. Joseph Vitale’s (D-19) proposal to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for students once the vaccine is approved for students and once students return to full in-person learning.
Vitale, chairman of the Senate’s health committee, began discussion with other lawmakers mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for students last month.
“The side effects of these vaccines have not been fully studied yet,” Ward 4 Councilman Mark Razzoli said at a meeting on Feb. 9. “Making it mandatory puts children at greater risk than COVID-19 itself.”
