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

They don’t have to be the “main source”… |

| I love how Australia is holding off on child vaccinations to first see how it goes on the US. Not only do we have to provide military protection for the entire western world, but now our kids are being experimented on for the benefit of other first world countries. |

That is good but even better IMO would be a mandate unless there is a medical exemption. That is what I would want for as an environment for my students. My older student is in such an environment with a vax requirements and it is working really well. |

People don’t seem to understand that myocarditis wasn’t seen at all in the 5-11 age group. Every child that got myocarditis was 12-17. |

| I think a midyear mandate is difficult bc people have signed contracts. I think there will be a mandate next year. Right now we're just strongly encouraged to vaccinate. |

I believe the 5 - 11 test group was too small to show up myocarditis cases. We will know better in a few weeks if there is a problem. |

| The schools that do decide to mandate will be very very popular choices for many families. |

| How will a school that does not mandate be able to compete with the ones that do mandate? |

No one is making anyone vaccine their child and nowhere else has there been such ill regard for children nor a lack of understanding for their specific needs and how they play a role, or don't, in the pandemic other than constant disruptions to their normal development and education. |

Outside the WDC bubble the child vaccination rate will be well under 50%. Maybe inside too. Highly educated people have a lower than average vaccination rate. |

Unless all those screened for silent myocarditis, whether they have symptoms or not, we will never know the magnitude of the problem. I am aware of a youth sports team doing this screening and finding 3% rate of silent myocarditis. These screenings should be mandatory if we want to see the data. |

That was the argument of the PP- which may or may not be you, that children are the main source of the case surge in Europe. That isn't true. Sorry if you don't like data versus news stories with agendas. |

The more parents are educated the more they know, the more they dig in. I am guessing that those who are happy with mandate will cluster in specific schools and said parents will avoid them. There will be schools that don’t mandate and will leave it up to parents, and they will attract a more diverse group of parents. |
