OP here. I understand the point about requiring proof of other vaccines. But a kid's MMR vaccination status isn't publicly known to their teachers and classmates, so no one would know that a kid's family has a religious or medical exemption for that vaccine. That's not true with this vaccination, at least if vaccinated kids are allowed to go maskless while the unvaccinated kids have to wear masks. It just feels like very private information that is made public by the distinction that schools might draw. I'm a little worried that unvaccinated kids will made to feel "other" if schools allow vaccinated kids to take off masks. I wonder, too, if teachers will treat kids differently if they are masked/unvaccinated, even on a subconscious level. [/quote]

I am a teacher and I always know which of my students are vaccinated for regularly required vaccines because anyone who is out of compliance gets a letter from the nurse.  I am responsible for making sure those letters get in backpacks.[/quote]
