Keeping kids safe until they can be vaccinated
How summer camps are keeping kids safe this year By Sarah Winkelmann | May 3, 2021 at 7:09 AM EDT - Updated May 3 at 10:48 AM
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - As COVID restrictions begin to ease across the country, many are getting back to a more normal way of life. But when will it be safe to take the kids to normal activities again? It’s all about considering the risk factors, and that starts with the big question of who will they be around.
In the state of Georgia, about 12-percent of 16 to 19-year-olds are vaccinated. In Chatham County, that number is similar, around 11-percent of 16 to 19-year-olds received the vaccine, and about 21-percent of 20 to 24-year-olds are vaccinated.

Each time I reflect on the election I think of Aaron Buchsbaum. “If Aaron Buchsbaum could have lived to see this day.”
