would be contrary to the religious beliefs of such student.

private college or university in this state shall (1) provide information about meningitis
to all prospective students prior to their matriculation and include with that information
notice of the availability and benefits of a meningitis vaccine, and (2) develop procedures
for receiving and keeping a record of student vaccination status.
