I totally agree. We have a mixed class of 4-5 yo in an outdoor program and they are requiring the 5 year olds to get vaccinated.

A parent can just do an exemption. It cannot be mandatory without approval.

Yes it can for private school

I doubt they can require it without full approval.

There’s been a long-standing misconception that vaccines under EUA can’t be mandated by businesses or governments. They absolutely can, in almost all cases. In particular, preschools can require vaccinations. Though, given that preschools have been serving unvaccinated students through most of the pandemic, they'd be risking an ADA lawsuit if they refused to accommodate children with a legitimate medical condition that would prevent vaccination (namely, allergies to vaccine ingredients, or severe reactions to the first dose).

Don't get me wrong, I think it is crazy to mandate a vaccine that has only been tested on 3,000 kids in the age group, but it is allowed.

A lot of families would want to attend a school like that..there is definitely a big market for any number of places where vaccines are required. Schools would be at the top of that list.

And a preschool in the south promising a curriculum based on the war of northern aggression might be popular among some. The same goes for a preschool focused on guns. But popularity/demand doesn't make it right.

You are not serious. You can send your kid to a pre-school where they will learn that the earth was created in 6 days or one where they hardly go inside or one where they don't go outside or whatever.

If you want to send your child to a school where vaccines are not required, you will be able to find it.

+1 adults in the family have boosters, the teen is vaxxedd, but I just don't want my preschooler getting the shot so soon. I gotta trust my instincts on this one.

You misunderstand. I'll get my kids vaccinated as soon as they're eligible. I have no concerns about the vaccine. I'm also quite confident their preschools will not require vaccination.

Regardless, I think it is terrible mandate vaccinations before there is strong, direct evidence supporting their safety and efficacy.

Good thing that there is then. This has been studied. No harmful effects of the vaccine.

You misunderstand me. My fear of the virus is the identical to another's fear of the vaccine. Fear is fear. In my area the losses from the virus were very very terrible and include a personal relative for me.

There is nothing wrong with carving out vaccinated zones. We lost the war against this virus and will never have another opportunity to really kick it the the curb like we could have if the misinformation enemies had not been so powerful. Now all that can be find ways to live with the virus and that includes vaccine requirements for certain places, schools, jobs, etc. Just like exist for other endemic infectious diseases.

Our preschool has mandated the covid vaccine for the five-year-olds. I think it’s a good decision.

I don't know why people think it can't be mandated. A private business can require it. A public school likely can't until it receives regular FDA approval, but a private school can. If you don't want to comply, you can send your kid to a different school.

Umm- at least 75% of kids will turn 5 in preschool- everyone with September- May birthdays, not to mention a portion of the kids with summer birthdays- whose parents decide to redshirt.

They can, but it's not without risks. Our nonprofit daycare/preschool has been through the ringer the last two years and is only barely still financially solvent- do places like this really want to risk a lawsuit? Our center has had one positive case this entire time- so requiring the vaccine now under EUA doesn't seem worth it.

FWIW, I think carrots are the better approach for now, e.g., not having to quarantine for exposure. I've given up hope on masks going away any time soon.
