Expanding on it a bit (and purely based on my own speculation)...
I wouldn't think that you'll have mandatory vaccines in schools for a while regardless. At least through the summer, this is going to be a "vaccinate everyone who wants it and don't be too forceful with those who don't" situation, and that will probably drag out even longer for kids since they can't get it now regardless. If, after supply has caught up with demand, we're seeing really good results and minimal deaths, that'll probably be the end of it. There's a decent chance that booster shots will be a thing, but hopefully it'll just end up like the flu where it can largely be managed voluntarily. The question is just what happens if we are still seeing a lot of deaths even after supply has caught up with demand. It would largely be among those who weren't vaccinated, which might further push people to do it, but we know that ~5% of people who get the vaccine are still vulnerable. So, if we're still seeing a lot of spread among that 5%, I could see the discussions popping up about mandatory vaccines in schools and public gatherings. But I think those discussions are a long ways off, and things could change substantially by then. |

My 20 year old son is an RA in a dorm in college although they are still on the remote learning schedule. All the RA`s are being offered the vaccine. He just texted me asking, "Do you want me to get the covid vaccine dad"?
TBH I have zero issues with my 87 year old parents getting it and even myself and my wife. Why am I hesitant to encourage my kids to get it? (OK 20 isn't a kid but he is in my eyes still lol) |

the anti-vaxers are going to prolong everyone's having to suffer under these restrictions for months or longer. Sad.

Because they could still get infected potentially allowing the virus to mutate to a point it could render the vaccine useless or less effective .So their choice could still have consequences for others.

But as you note, the only thing we know, is we don't know what the future with this will hold. I can't begin to say how much that sucks. |

My wife's friend is a pediatrician and says she wouldn't hesitate either. I`m convinced it is the correct thing to do. |
