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

When 90% of kids 5-11 in these schools have been vaccinated over the next few weeks here are going to be the choices presented:

1. Mandate vaccines and potentially replace 10% of this age group. Given the waitlists to get into these schools, I doubt it will be a problem.
2. Run the school like the students all aren't vaccinated and cater to 10% of the school population.
3. Separate the kids who aren't vaccinated into their own classes with different protocols as restrictions ease.

All of the Upper Schools had the same choices and what did they do?...

Hahahah. Jokes on you. Keep wearing your masks all the time, never talking during lunch 6’ apart outside, getting tested weekly, and quarantining for 10 days. Enjoy.

Someone is making money here and it ain’t us!

Why? For parents who chose not to vaccinate, they should feel ok with their kids going to school with less protocols. Why should the school have to separate? We don't have separate super markets for vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Our kids will be protected from the already slim chance of any health issues from Covid. I don't see these 'choices' as valid.

Because its about Liability! That's the primary concern of each and every school. The endless layers of precautions are not about the kids. Its about not being sued.

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

Our school is having their own vaccine clinics and both doses will be done by mid December.

The FDA explicitly said COVID vaccines should not be mandated for this age group, it was actually one of the basis for their hesitation in approving but they erred on the side of wanting the vaccine to be available to those who would potentially benefit from it. I love how in DC- the cautioned approval turns into in two months, mandates for all. So much for believing in the experts, listening to them, and "science"

The hypocrisy is astounding. Especially considering flip it and it isn't much different than the right picking and choosing the data or expert they want to listen to and ignoring the rest.

Which allowed it to be approved w caveats with only a 2000 kid study and only 6 months of longitudinal data, and a 25+ page liability waiver putting care of duty to the parental level, plus no one in the control group was ever getting sick so the data is statistically insignificant.

Basically it’s a bet.
A gamble that maybe it will help something sometime and not have any short term, medium term or long term negative effects. mRNA drug delivery system for pre-pubescent children.

USA is only country considering it. Other developed countries looked at the data and saw no reason for children to get innoculated- they were transmitting, they weren’t getting infected, and if they were they rarely got sick or had symptoms.

The effects of LongCOVID are real. I will be happy to take "the bet."

five year old with long Covid? Where did you read that?

Why should it be ok for your unvaccinated kid to become a vector in the school when everyone else is acting responsibly. Or do you still not understand how viruses and vaccines work?

And it is a private school, they can make their own rules. If you don't like it, pull your kid.

World bank and IMF are also writing exemptions for employees kids who also think this is a risky overkill.

So these priests are ignoring the Pope's instruction that nothing in the Catholic faith prevents vaccination?

Given that lots of religions have priests that wouldn’t be surprising.

I wonder if the 12-16s had the same reservations? Their mandates came on pretty quickly. The kids mandates to go to school are all a big mess.

So this isi the current problem with both the right and left. I said nothing about whether I agreed or not with any vaccine mandate, I didn't provide my opinion. I provided facts. The facts are the FDA said mandates should not be made. The facts are, a lot of schools have in fact turned to mandates. The facts are, in this area, a lot of people have yelled "believe in the science", "listen to the experts" and lambasted the right for not doing so when now, and throughtout the pandemic they have also not done so. Those are facts and you, turn around and say- if you don't like it leave. If I don't like facts leave? Is it now not possible to share actual facts and if people don't agree with them, that some how makes them not true and they shouldn't be shared? That is super scary stuff, especially when we are talking about schools and centers for learning when facts, can not be provided and someone assumes they are opinion if they don't like them.

I agree that the vaccine should not be required. But schools should not cater to the unvaccinated. The vaccine is available, you make your choice. You can’t mandate masks, distancing and cleaning forever.
