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

Another Deutschle Welle article talks about the ongoing surge in children.

Germany- cases: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1105465/coronavirus-covid-19-cases-age-group-germany/

Children are not the main source of cases.

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

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.

I am the poster who posted several articles citing that: 1) Europe is having large surges and 2) in both UK and Germany they are refocusing on the rate of child infections and acknowledging the need or potential need to vaccinate children. Nowhere did I state the children are the “main source” of a surge anywhere.

The point is that it is silly to say, “oh across the pond they did not vaccinate kids so why should we”, as they are clearly still evaluating the need given the large winter surges they are currently experiencing.

The data are that cases in children are rising as part of the overall surge. The articles describe that children are a part of the surges that are affecting a wider population.

Europe is not talking about vaccinating children on any real level, they also laugh at the US and shake their heads in disbelief for forcing masks on two year olds.

Already vaccinating 5 and up in Vienna: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/05/world/europe/vienna-vaccinate-young-children.html

Evaluating it for EU use and already vaccinating 12 and up in multiple countries:
On Oct. 18, the EU's medicines regulator said it had started evaluating the use of Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine in 5 to 11-year-old children.

* In June, Denmark said it would offer COVID-19 shots to children aged 12-15 to boost its overall immunity against the virus.

* France has started vaccinating those from 12 years upwards, provided they have parental consent.

* Germany in August agreed to make vaccination available to all children aged 12-17.

* Austria has started vaccinating children aged 12-15.

* Estonia could start vaccinating teenagers by the autumn, public broadcaster ERR reported, citing the head of the government's COVID-19 council.

Europe has been vaccinating 12-18 for a while now. This thread was about 5-11 not 12 and up. Vacciantes are mandated for 12-12 and up for most places in Europe to include restaurants. Again, Europe as a whole is not seriously talking about vaccinating 5-11 year olds on any large scale. It may be offered at some point for those who would benefit. Europe would also never mandate something that hasn't been approved. Private businesses don't have that power, nor should they.

I should clarify, fully approved, not approved under emergency authorisation.

Not that I really care what other countries are doing, but Canada is vaccinating this age group: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59352802

This thread is really about what private schools in DC are going to do in terms of mandating vaccines. Any new announcements for vaccine mandates?

GDS and Sidwell both mandating for 5 and up.

Offering versus mandating are different.

I'm a GDS parent, and I have not heard of such a mandate. I would not be surprised, however, by a mandate starting in the 2022-23 school year.

GDS hasn't mandated it.

Burgundy Farm just announced today they are mandating vaccines (or weekly PCR testing) for students age five and up.

Now that contacts are coming our for fall, is anyone mandating for Fall for the 5-11 group? Is it still Sidwell only?
