Children are not at risk and teachers should have choice.  If they want to be vaccinated, then they should have the right just as someone should have the right not to have it. This is not small pox. Since January of 2020  14 children Under the age of 18 have passed due to or with covid. 14! These deaths are tragic as any passing of a child would be under any circumstances,  but these are the facts directly from the Virginia department of health's website. To say this is about public safety or the safety of children would be a blatant lie not based on the data. Children have no need for this as they are not at risk. The flu shot is not required which is far more dangerous for children so this has no business being mandatory either.
