[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe any schools would still be requiring this vaccine these days. I'd be worried about the school's ability to instill critical thinking skills since it is CLEARLY not needed for that population. [/quote]
Schools contemplating vaccine requirements for the fall should consider recent studies, like this one from the Cleveland Clinic which evaluated the bivalent booster:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.17.22283625v1.full

"There were too few severe illnesses for the study to be able to determine if the vaccine decreased severity of illness."
"The risk of COVID-19 also varied by the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses previously received. The higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19 (Figure 2)."
"The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study, was unexpected. This is not the only study to find a possible association with more prior vaccine doses and higher risk of COVID-19. A large study found that those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving three doses of vaccine had a higher risk of reinfection than those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving two doses of vaccine [21]. Another study found that receipt of two or three doses of a mRNA vaccine following prior COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of reinfection than receipt of a single dose [7]. We still have a lot to learn about protection from COVID-19 vaccination, and in addition to a vaccine’s effectiveness it is important to examine whether multiple vaccine doses given over time may not be having the beneficial effect that is generally assumed."
