[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much depends on the timing and outcomes of the Pfizer and moderna trials in 12-17 yos. Results are expected in the next month or two. If they're good, given Biden's announcement of enough vaccine for adults by end of May, teenagers could be vaccinated in time for school in the fall.

Exactly! Not enough information.[/quote]

FWIW, Moderna is already approved for ages 16+.  So all teachers, seniors, and (almost) all juniors could almost certainly be vaccinated by fall, even without further authorizations.  Assuming the supply is what is now projected, the majority of adults in DC should be vaccinated too and I imagine community spread will be very low (maybe even close to herd immunity). There will be enormous pressure for students to at least have the option of being in person.[/quote]

It’s Pfizer that’s approved for 16 and up. [/quote]

You're right- my mistake.  But the point is the same--currently authorized vaccines could cover all teachers and staff and (almost) half of students at Wilson.  And there should be adequate supply/distribution to actually vaccinate all of them.  I'm hoping that DCPS will require vaccines of those who are able to get them, considering they require all other vaccines (including the HPV vaccine, which some people are opposed to on moral grounds).[/quote]
