[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] As a teacher, I support a vaccine mandate. We need to do everything we can to protect the little ones who aren’t vaccinated yet.[/quote]

Children don’t need vaccinations against covid, their risk is negligible.[/quote]

Depends on the child. I saw a news article that mentioned two that died. It irks me that they never mention how old these children are. But anyway, [b]it did disclose that one if them was a patient that was being treated for something else[/b]. So I think kids who have health issues will be at more risk.[/quote]

The child may have died of that something else.

A JHU study analyzed all pediatric COVID deaths in the US and none occurred without co-morbidities. Statistically the chance of a child dying of COVID is less than that of a vaccinated 35 year old. Can it happen? Sure, but it's down in the .002% range. Yes over a large population that's still a few hundred kids, as we've seen, but it's safer than many things. I'll still vaccinate my ES kids when it becomes available, but I don't worry about them. Those who have co-morbidities should be able to do Online Campus, and if they missed that window than Virtual Virginia or VAVA K-12.[/quote]
