Some nursing students in Southern California may be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine to complete their university credits, according to an email obtained by The Epoch Times.

Vaccinations will be required for the mandatory clinical portion of their education—the hands-on experience nursing students gain in a hospital or some other on-site equivalent. Students in the state must complete nearly 900 hours of clinicals to graduate and receive their registered nursing credentials.
