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

That highly not possible unless they secured all the appointments as well.

Our school has mandated by January 8 for all eligible students (5+), and yes, they are having vaccine clinics.

Same for my child's school. 12+ have been required to have it since earlier this fall.

Vaccine is mandated (1st dose) by Jan 4th to participate in after care at the Primary Day School and will be mandated for attending school next fall.

12+ have been required since start of the school year.

5-11 will be required, with second shot by early January. School is offering a weekend vaccination clinic to make sure it’s available.

I’m assuming there will be more religious/philosophical exemptions in the younger group, but we’ll see.

A mandate does not allow exceptions, so I’m confused by which schools have a strict mandate and which allow exceptions.

School starts at 6th grade so mainly impacts that grade which is mainly 11-12 yr olds. 12+ were already mandated after Pfizer got full approval for that group. Current students/faculty/staff vax rate is 94%. Curious that for 12+ they waited to mandate after full approval but for 5-11 mandating with only emergency approval. School has only had one case so far this school year and test students on site once a week.

Full approval is for 16+. The 12-15 year olds are still under EUA and many schools have mandated vaccination for 12+ since September.

I think you are misinterpreting "mandate" in this instance. Some schools and businesses may not be allowing religious or personal exemptions, but reasonable accommodations at the very least have to be made for medical ones. I don't think there is anyone who isn't at least allowing for medical exemptions.

Mandate always means absent allowed exceptions.

Change above post to reflect that Sidwell is now requiring 5-11 to be vaccinated by Jan. 31 or w/in two months of turning 5. Medical/religious exemptions available.

Did Sidwell originally send an email recommending and then change positions?

No. They waited until the vaccine was approved for the age cohort and sent an email out yesterday.

Mandating a truncated clinical trial mRNA shot approved with caveats under emergency order for pre-pubescent children?

No wonder everyone is claiming religious or medical reasons and opting for weekly testing.
