Teen vaccines and schools

Anyone with a 12-to-15-year-old in their life got encouraging news this week when our colleagues reported that the Food and Drug Administration is set to authorize the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for use in this age group by early next week. On Tuesday, Pfizer said it also expected to apply in September for authorization to administer its Covid-19 vaccine to children ages 2 to 11.

So what exactly does this vaccine news mean for the next school year?

Being able to have their kids vaccinated will no doubt be reassuring to many parents, including some who have not felt comfortable sending their children back to school in person yet. That will most likely mean more students attending in-person classes next school year. (Some states have already said that remote learning will not continue to be an option for most students in the fall.)
