[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vaccine is still under emergency approval for kids 5-11. Are you all assuming that changes before September? It could honestly go either way given the reluctance of some panel members to approve even the EUA. The message upon approval was “we want to give parents the option of vaccinating kids in this age group.” DC really jumped the gun in trying to mandate it. Unless/until there is final approval AND the rhetoric changes to “you should vaccinate your child”, there’s no way they will enforce this mandate.

And really, there’s every likelihood that when the grant final approval snd start recommending it, we will start treating it like the flu shot. Which is optional and many parents don’t bother because it requires that you affirmatively seek it out (unless your kid just happens to have an annual appointment along the time it is released). Covid also has strong seasonality, like the flu. [/quote]

This is an important point.  Mandates assume that the vaccine will be fully approved. [/quote]
