[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a teacher is in a room with 30 unvaccinated students, why does it matter if a teacher is vaccinated?[/quote]

*sigh.* because adults are major vectors of bringing covid into schools.  and because the health of teachers was the primary rationale for closing schools.  so obviously, on a policy level, it's crucial.

"Findings from several studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2 transmission among students is relatively rare, particularly when prevention strategies are in place.  An Australian study of 39 COVID-19 cases among 32 students and seven staff traced contacts across 28 schools and six early childhood centers and found only 33 secondary positive cases (28 students and five staff members) out of 3,439 close child contacts and 385 close staff contacts.58, 59  Several contact tracing studies have found limited student-to-student transmission in schools.47, 54, 60, 61  A study of factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection among children and adolescents in Mississippi found that school attendance was not associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result.  However, close contacts with persons with COVID-19, attending gatherings, and having visitors in the home were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infections among children and adolescents.26  The evidence to date suggests that staff-to-student and student-to-student transmission are not the primary means of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 among infected children.  Several studies have also concluded that students are not the primary sources of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 among adults in school setting.47, 54, 59"
