More school districts will face similar challenges in getting unvaccinated families to change their minds
Thousands of Bay Area school kids still don’t have their COVID-19 shots despite looming school vaccine mandates, provoking uncertainty among school leaders and fear in parents about how the requirements could impact long- and short-term learning for unvaccinated students.
“We might see tens of thousands of students who are not going to be allowed to go to school,” said Howard, whose research involves race, culture, access and educational opportunities for minority student populations. The current numbers are so discouraging that two of the East Bay’s largest districts – West Contra Costa Unified and Oakland Unified – postponed student vaccine mandates that were due to take effect in January and February.
“All parents should be entitled to feel how they want about the vaccine and have the right to decide whether to get their children vaccinated,” McGhee said.
