[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our current preschool in MoCo is mandating it. I've visited three other schools in the county and those have no plans to mandate it unless required by the county/regulatory agencies (which I think would only happen if it gets full FDA approval). We will be switching centers.[/quote]

Thanks for vacating a slot for parents who prefer their children be safer rather than the opposite. Even if we vaccinate our children, as everyone should, risk of COVID infection is lower if they are in an environment where everyone else is vaccinated as well.

The lowered risk of infection is marginal.   Look, I got my 3yo vaccinated, as I do for the flu every year, because I still think the benefits outweigh the potential downsides.  But I think it's poor policy to mandate a vaccine that is not yet fully approved, and I'm glad my daycare is not.  [/quote]

I generally agree.  I actually didn't have a problem with organizations requiring adult vaccination before full approval, but at the time there was ample evidence that the vaccine did a great deal to reduce spread.  The landscape has changed.  The reduction in disease spread is much more marginal, plus everyone has access to the vaccine if they choose it.  And I'll admit I'm still livid about adults who won't get vaccinated but it's really a different situation for the little kids.[/quote]

Agreed. Part of the problem with unvaccinated adults is that they are much more likely to end up in the hospital than vaccinated adults, which puts on strain the healthcare system. Kids are rarely hospitalized with Covid to begin with, so there’s less effect on the society at large .[/quote]
