My children have medical exemptions for all vaccines due to predisposed illnesses. My concern is to have them around so many vaccinated people everyday. Given that now so many children are being forced by certain universities to get it at this point means that those student population #s will go up from say 50% to closer to 100%
We have done extensive research and have data sets of exactly what the protocols are required at each of the schools we were looking at - and I doubt any of the schools who are not requiring them this year will add them next year - but the hope is that those who are requiring now will retract the mandate for 2022. Even so, it will still be a concern allowing my kids to go to those schools even next year given that ~75% of the student body would potentially still be problematic for them.
Troubling for many children, but given that my children are top 1% out of a 900+ student class, close to perfect SATs and will be pursuing a technical engineering degrees - it’s pretty devastating that so many of the schools fitting for them we will be ruling out.
