So how exactly is DC going to implement school vaccine mandate next year?

Not last year, next year

Teachers and families have a right to know general percentages and should demand so.

NP and I mean this as an honest question- why do you think teachers and families deserve to know vaccination percentages at their school? I don’t think of that as a right.

It’s not a “right” to know if there are stabbings, either. The question is whether it’s important information for parents and teachers to have. Which I don’t know…

A stabbing is a violent crime, it’s not someone’s personal health information.

Parents already have to submit all sorts of personal medical info about about their kids. Why should one more vaccine be any different?

I assume no one is suggesting the school release information on individual students.

You’re right that stabbings are a bad example because that info is already made public. We don’t have a “right” to that info either, though. It’s only released because there are DC laws about it. DC can choose to make vaccine rates public too if they want.

Of course it’s not a civil right but yes it’s important to know the vaccination rates in schools, just as it’s transparent the vaccination rates and breakdown in DC during a pandemic. Vaccination percentages and new cases is what you need to know in your community to understand risk, transmission of new variants, etc.,

If you don’t think so then you obviously aren’t following science and don’t know much about public health and how it affects your community.

I’m fully vaccinated and boosted so actually no I don’t care about case numbers. Most are completely benign and I don’t think it’s an important public health measure for policy choices at this point.

I also don’t need vaccination rates among kids at my school.

DP. There are many public health experts who have said that case counts shouldn't be the guiding metric anymore, it's hospitalizations that matter. Even Dr. Fauci has said it:

The same way the so everything else…

The good intentions and poor execution.

[Anonymous]

Lewis Ferebee and Muriel Bowser will complete this task as they do everything else:

It will be as poorly planned as it is poorly executed.

[Anonymous]

DCPS will cave (like CA did with similar ill-proposed vaccine mandate). Parents will call DCPS' bluff, refuse to vaccinate their kids . . . . but the kids still need to be educated, so there you are. What is the alternative - kids out of school roaming the streets? We know how well that works in DC . . . .

Do people like this really think there are people among us who hate our communities? I don’t get it. Why is it so hard to understand that people do different things with different information?

Ok but there is no information if your school isn’t telling you what their vaccination rate is.

I see you avoided the vaccination rate question. There is no public health person that says you should not know your vaccination rate in your area. It absolutely drives decisions and why it’s different in different areas.

Case counts are important because you want to know just how transmissible a variant is.
