The irony is that UPenn no longer requires a covid vaccine for students, while UCLA does (hopefully OP only has to apply for the religious exemption once).

UCLA “requires” the latest vaccine, but allows giving a declination form (“A medical, disability or religious exception is not needed for the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine. If you need to opt out of the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine, simply submit a declination on The Ashe Center Patient Portal by clicking on the Medical Clearance tab. The declination option is at the bottom of the screen.”).
