On a sidenote:  What more is *DCPS* supposed to do to encourage vaccinations?  That doesn't seem like it's something that DCPS should do.  The health dept., sure.  [/quote]

They could do more vaccine clinics at schools, for example.[/quote]

But will that DO anything?  It seems like the people that aren't getting vaxxed have made their choice.  You can get DC to come to your house to vax you, even.  If people aren't doing that....then I don't think setting up an ADDITIONAL clinic is going to get people to get vaccinated.[/quote] Require it for next year. Done. [/quote]

There is no way they will be able to require a vaccine still under an EUA, sorry. And with recent news about lack of efficacy for the 5-11 age group, I am not convinced full approval is coming. Especially with mutations to the virus -- are they going to release an updated vaccine in the fall that might be more effective, as they do with the flu vaccine? And I'd also love some news on any long-term studies of getting an annual or biannual mRNA vaccine, especially in kids, because that's still a concern for me in terms of making Covid vaccines a regular event for kids like flu vaccines already are. If there are long term impacts on immune systems, I'd like to know what they are before I start giving my kid a shot or two every 6-12 months.

I am super, super pro-vaccine and I have questions about a vaccine mandate for under-12s. Imagine what the opposition is like for people who are vaccine skeptics. Sorry, but no way DCPS is enforcing a mandate next year unless a bunch of other stuff lines up.[/quote]
