FDA to meet about Pfizer vaccine for kids 12 to 15
Health experts are expecting a big decision this week in the fight against COVID-19 -- children and young teenagers getting the vaccine.
LAND O' LAKES, Fla. - The Pasco County School District has set an end date for their COVID-19 mask mandate. The order requiring students, staff, and visitors to wear face-coverings will go away at the end of the day on May 28 – two days after the end of school.
Wednesday, May 26, is the last day for students, while May 28 is the last day for teachers. That means the mask requirement "will effectively remain in place through the end of the 2020-2021 school year," schools spokesperson Stephen Hegarty noted.
