Publisher’s Note from VOX ATL: “VOX provides all teen-created content and perspectives as resources to our audience. At this time, VOX understands that the decision to get vaccinated is a personal and familial decision, and VOX does not ask participants to formally disclose their vaccination status to determine participation in our programming.”
The decision wasn’t hard.
If I was going to be free of the stress of keeping a 6-foot distance and constantly pulling my mask over my nose, I knew I was getting a vaccine once it came out for 12- to 15-year-olds.
As a 14-year-old growing more and more tired of knowing that I was the only chink in the armor of my family, it was firmly set in my mind that that shot was going in.

Beginning Wednesday, December 16, Riverbend Elementary School will move all in-person students to remote instruction for the final days of the semester, the Hall County School District announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The school district made the announcement a day after district officials said all in-person students at Hall County middle and high schools would switch to at-home learning from Wednesday, Dec. 16, through Friday, Dec. 18, which is the last day before the winter break. Prior to that announcement, the system had canceled in-person instruction for five schools: Cherokee Bluff High, Cherokee Bluff Middle, Chestatee High, C.W. Davis Middle and East Hall High.
