Fordham University’s new covid-19 booster shot requirement has sparked outrage on campus — even prompting some students to pursue legal action against the school, their attorney told The Post.
The Jesuit university’s policy — one of the strictest in the country — went into effect Tuesday, and applies to all staff, students and visitors. It is one of just a handful of colleges nationwide to require the fourth dose, citing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Students and faculty were allowed to apply for medical or religious exemptions until last Friday.
“If all of America was getting this (booster), and every school in America was doing this, then it would be different,” said Zachary Visconti, a sophomore who was granted an exemption on religious grounds. “But it’s not the norm — a lot of the world has gotten back to normal,” Visconti said.
