[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some are afraid because, as we know, none of the vaccines is 100 percent effective, and we have no way — except the hard way — of determining which individuals might be in the group that has not been protected by the vaccine. We also do not know how long the vaccines will protect us or if they protect against newer strains of the virus.

Others are afraid because we do not yet know if vaccinated people can still transmit the virus to others.  Many of this overwhelmingly female workforce may provide at least some care for older, vulnerable relatives.  So I think the fears are justified and perhaps provide updates that address these concerns would be useful. [/quote]
We do know a lot of this.  We 100% know that the vaccine effectiveness will last through the end of the school year.  We also know that the vaccines 100% prevent against hospitalization and death.  The vaccines also are nearly completely effective against severe illness and still very very effective against all symptoms.  We also now have data showing that they greatly reduce transmission.  Please look at actual data.  It's truly fantastic.

On top of this, APS is implementing safety measures and distancing that the Biden CDC says are sufficient to stop transmission without vaccination.

Arlington has also started vaccinating high risk and older individuals, so any at risk family members will be protected soon too.[/quote]
