As much as I would love for the deadline to be sooner, this doesn't seem terribly unreasonable. to me, given the schools are going to need to figure out how to get verification of vaccination.
But this is all irrelevant for the time being since 1) it's not being enforced until next school year; and 2) it only applies to those ages that the FDA has fully approved the vaccine - just 16+. But next school year when there is enforcement and hopefully all ages will be fully approved by the FDA, it will be great!
where are you seeing won't be required till next school year?

I'm a little surprised by the negativity around this... I'm just grateful they are mandating the vaccines at all for schools b/c I didn't think that was going to happen.

Maybe picked this date to allow further approvals to occur by then?

Why is this waiting till March 2022 to be implemented/required?
