[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, overnight camp required it.[/quote]

Oh wow.  I’m sorry, that is just terrible.  I can’t believe places are still enforcing vaccine mandates/booster mandates.  Especially for kids![/quote]

I didn't think it was a bad thing.[/quote]

It was definitely not a sound public health decision.  And possibly unethical for them to require it based on the data we have.  [/quote]

Whatever one's personal take on it, CDC had advised K-12 settings on this so that close contacts would not have to be sent home early unless they had symptoms which triggered diagnostic testing and that test came up positive. The American Camp Association recommended overnight camps follow CDC guidance.

[quote]CDC recommends everyone eligible get their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, and receive booster dose(s) when eligible, so they stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations.

COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of people getting very sick with COVID-19 and can also reduce the risk of spreading it. People who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 are more likely to get very sick. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19.

People who are up to date on COVID-19 vaccines do not need to quarantine if they come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19. This means overnight campers and staff who are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines can continue attending camp activities if they are determined to be a close contact. Campers and staff who are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines and identified as close contacts should still follow the recommendations to wear a well-fitting mask and get tested.[/quote]
