[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery County is 98.9% vaccinated amongst those who are eligible.

When will we see adjustments to the quarantine policies that are putting an unnecessary burden on our kids and caregivers?  Who do we contact to get movement on this issue?[/quote]

Unfortunately, I think they want to use the quarantine policy as a way to effectively mandate vaccinations.

I’m not strictly opposed to a vaccine mandate, but I don’t think they should be playing games with the quarantine policy to do it. [/quote]

Having different quarantine policies for vaccinated and unvaccinated people isn't "playing games," it's basic public health policy.[/quote]

In diseases with other characteristics it could make sense. But given that we don’t quarantine students for the flu it doesn’t make sense to keep quarantine Covid, particularly once high-risk people can be vaccinated.

Heck, RSV is a bigger problem for kids right now than Covid and we’re not quarantining RSV contacts.[/quote]
