You are kidding yourself if you think this is the case at a private function.

Serious question…. If they are vaccinated why does it matter?

Just follow CDC guideline and it will be OK (vaccinated and masked).

I would let my vaccinated teen go, assuming I knew most kids there were also vaccinated.

No. My kid needs to be back in school. The last thing he needs is to contract covid right before it starts.

Highly unlikely, and even less likely to be symptomatic, if vaccinated.

Here's the thing. YOUR teen is vaccinated but you don't know if the other teens are vaccinated and there's a decent likelihood that many of them are not. What kind of people are having a big gathering right now anyway? Very very selfish.

In our circles, there is a very low percent of unvaccinated teens.

I saw a study that said the vaccines are only estimated to be 50-60 percent protective against infection and we have a younger unvaxxed child and live with a grandparent with health conditions.
I think if everyone in your household was vaxed and you did not have close loved ones you interact with who are not you might make a different decision.

For the good of society with delta you might want to not go even if you weren't worried about exposing a loved one. Your child could get it and transmit to a kid at the mall who could then bring it home to someone vulnerable.

Ridiculous. These are kids who are old enough to be vaccinated. And OP’s child is. OP, this wouldn’t even be a tough call for me. Of course I’d let my vaccinated kid go.

Yes. FFS, the teen is vaccinated! The vaccine works!

Vaccinated, yes

Yes. I spend a fair amount of time around 12-13 year old boys in MoCo. All of the boys I know are fully vaccinated and they all take mask wearing seriously. Also, they dance very little and basically never hug. I don’t know what boys that PP is hanging out with.

The 10 year old girls I know do hug, dance and scream a lot….and none of them are vaccinated. They are also less likely to keep their masks on as they are always slipping off their little faces.

So I’d let my 12 year old boy go if I had a decent sense of the family and how large the gathering was going to be.

Ceremony yes, party indoors no.
