Mayor just announced that all adults who are regularly in schools and child care facilities must be fully vaccinated by Nov. 1 and there is no "test-out" option.

The DC Council is holding a hearing TOMORROW on COVID school safety. If you want mandatory vaccines, email Chairman Phil Mendelson and tell him:

pmendelson@dccouncil.us

The Council can do this if the mayor refuses to take action.

It’s reprehensible that vaccines are not mandatory.

I would be LIVID.

Adults in schools are far more likely to test positive than children, per the health department. It is very strange that we allow unvaccinated adults in schools.

She doesn’t care

I had posted about this before but lots seemed to question the accuracy. Now that it is publicly reported and supporting by the WaPo, I am raising this issue again. Remember that whole thing about Johnson’s entire sixth grade class getting forced into quarantine this first week of school? Well, that was due to a single unvaccinated personnel. So far, all of the entire grade and entire classroom quarantines have been due to 1+ unvaccinated personnel. So, this begs the question, why hasn’t Bowser REaLlY mandated vaccinations among personnel - no testing opt out allowed?! This is unfair to students and incredibly disruptive!
