[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pfizer is now expecting to seek authorization for kids 2-11 in September[/quote]

If that's the case, maybe a significant virtual option needs to be only available for one semester. Here's to hoping more kids are back in school soon![/quote]

If I were APS, I'd still plan for at least 2 quarters of virtual.  Seeking authorization does not equal immunized kids.  Lets look back at the timeline for the 12-15 kids and project what that means for the 2-11 year olds. Pfizer requested authorization for kids 12-14 on April 9, 2021.  If authorization is approved this week (as we all expect), that will be about one month.  It is anyone's guess how long it will take after that for all kids who want a vaccine to get the first dose (lets say a month).  And then its 21 days until the second dose. Then 2 weeks until fully protected.

Let's sketch this out or the fall.  Say Pfizer requests authorization for 2-11 year olds September 1.  Say it takes 1 month for the FDA to grand the authorization, we're at October 1.  Assuming 2-11 year olds can start getting vaccinated that same day (which we all know won't be possible), the second dose would be given October 21.  Two weeks later is November 4.  [b]Remember this assumes there is no time needed between FDA approval and kids starting to get shots in arms.[/b]  APS' first quarter ends November 1.  Personally, I'm preparing myself mentally to have my kids vaccinated by the winter holidays and to be back in in person school for the second quarter, which begins January 29.  We will get there.  Hang in there everyone and get your vax as soon as you can!   [/quote]

Confession.  I read the PP too quickly and read semester as quarter.  Jokes on me for going to the trouble of sketching out a timeline. :-)[/quote]
