Once at least 1 Covid vaccine for children is fully approved by the FDA and CDC (not just emergency authorization), a vaccine mandate for all eligible students and staff should be enacted. Since the Pfzier vaccine has full approval from the FDA and CDC for adults, all school staff should be required to be vaccinated. I believe exemptions such as medical or religious exemptions can be applied, but I believe the religious exemptions should be carefully decided upon since most religions have not taken a stance on this particular vaccine or have said that they are in favor of the vaccine. Other vaccines are mandated to attend school with some exemptions, so this should not be any different than those mandated vaccines. We have seen outbreaks of something completely preventable like in the case of measles in areas that have low vaccination rates.
