Keep Schools Open

President Biden is also pushing parents to get their children vaccinated in an effort to keep schools from shutting down once again. He is also asking that all governors adopt mandates that will force teachers and school staff to get the vaccine.

“They get vaccinated for a lot of things,” Biden said. “As of adults, almost all of the most serious COVID-19 cases we’re seeing among adolescents are in unvaccinated 12- to 17-year-olds, an age group that lags behind in vaccination rates.”

“So parents, please get your teenager vaccinated,” Biden reiterated.
