Is your DC private mandating Covid Vaccine for 5-11, or recommending?

| Maybe I should rephrase - have any of your schools mandated it, and given you a deadline for this age group? |

| Our school is requiring it for students to participate in after care in January. The HOS has also said it will be mandated for students as soon as it is FDA approved or at the start of the 2022-2023 school year (which ever comes first). |

| Our school said they aren't requiring it now but that they likely would for 2022-23. |

It’s still an emergency order correct? Which allowed it to be approved w caveats with only a 2000 kid study and only 6 months of longitudinal data, and a 25+ page liability waiver putting care of duty to the parental level, plus no one in the control group was ever getting sick so the data is statistically insignificant.
Basically it’s a bet. A gamble that maybe it will help something sometime and not have any short term, medium term or long term negative effects. mRNA drug delivery system for pre-pubescent children. USA is only country considering it. Other developed countries looked at the data and saw no reason for children to get innoculated- they were transmitting, they weren’t getting infected, and if they were they rarely got sick or had symptoms. |

Lots of legalese here. Schools and no one really, will touch this until the emergency order clause is lifted. The EO protects them from the accelerated, non robust clinical trial “results.” The long waiver form does as well. Until something bad starts happening. |

No. Just highly recommending. Pediatricians are toeing this line too. Their reasoning is that historically vaccinations lessen the effects of any virus should you get effected so they apply that logic to the new mRNA vax as well. |

The effects of LongCOVID are real. I will be happy to take "the bet." |

| Recommending. My understanding is that as long as the pediatric vaccine is under emergency use authorization that it is problematic to mandate it. |

Very rare to get infected Even rarer to have symptoms, if even infected Very rare to feel sick, if even infected Very rare to have along Covid effects- net of other health comorbidities or not So yeah, be the only developed or no developed country to jab your kids with it every 6 month$. The heart inflammation figures are higher than the infection rate in the control group. And long term anything? Unknown. |

Do you mind saying which schools are recommending/mandating?
Allowing more time for parents to decide would be crucial, as more data will be available after the vaccination starts and the medical professionals are better prepared to handle complications. The trial sample is small and the "benefits outweigh risks" conclusion doesn't seem to be a consensus across developed countries. To me, waiting for more data with the masks/protocols on is better than rushing into it. |

They all out out the same fluff email: something got approved by someone so we recommend you vaccinate your children.
We will let you know what we decide for next year regarding vaccinations or not. |
