New York City Mayor Says He Will Mandate Covid Vaccines for Children This Fall
- sn0w_crash 4y agoWhy?

- ceejayoz 4y agoNew York (state) schools - public, private, or religious - all require a wide array of vaccinations already. It'd hardly be a shock to see COVID's added to that list. https://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/immunization/schools/school_vaccines/ https://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/immunization/schools/sc...
- MuchoMaas 4y agoDo they require flu shots?
- ceejayoz 4y agohttps://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/student-vaccinations.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/student-v... > Between July 1 and December 31, all children ages 6 months to 59 months must receive one dose of flu vaccine if they attend day care, Head Start, pre-K or nursery school.
- MuchoMaas 4y agoWhy?
- ceejayoz 4y agoBecause it kills thousands of people each year?
- MuchoMaas 4y agoStarting only in 2020 I guess: https://www.wxxinews.org/health/2020-09-10/new-york-considering-mandatory-flu-vaccine-for-students?_amp=true https://www.wxxinews.org/health/2020-09-10/new-york-consider...
- ceejayoz 4y agoThat's state, not city, and an expansion from the city's criteria. Yes, sometimes vaccines get added to the list. Shocking!
- MuchoMaas 4y agoDo they usually get added more than five decades after they were approved in kids, or was there some political sea change in 2020 which probably has more explanatory power?
- ceejayoz 4y agoI'd imagine "we don't really want more ICU patients than strictly necessary right now" played a role. Any other easily answerable questions? You're batting 0-3 for stumpers thus far. It's funny seeing folks trying to portray Adams as a COVID fanatic when he's been pretty aggressive at lifting various mandates.
