JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new guidelines that people who have been vaccinated can ditch the mask, some parents and health officials are concerned about what it means for younger children who still can’t get the vaccine.
“We have no way of really knowing who’s been vaccinated and who hasn’t. So there may be those who take a liberty and say well, others are not wearing masks so I don’t have to wear my mask, either and this could actually end up leading to an uptake and more infections,” said Dr. Trachella Johnson Foy, who owns a family practice in Jacksonville.
