With the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest authorization for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to be used in children ages 12 to 15, the number of school-aged kids eligible for the vaccination has dramatically increased. Most middle and high school students can now get the shot. But that doesn’t mean Kentucky schools will require students to get the vaccine anytime soon.
Jefferson County Public Schools, the state’s largest district, will not require students to get the shot for the 2021-2022 school year, according to district spokesperson Renee Murphy.
Local Produce: Jess Clarke and Just Friends Jewellery
Jess Clarke is a history and performing arts student who produces all kinds of weird and wonderful earrings. Finding success at the Radio One Market days, she has managed to turn her summer holiday hobby into one of Otago’s newest trends.
Jess’s work features all kinds of unconventional objects that most people wouldn’t even think to turn into earrings. She got the idea last year from TikTok and has been creating ever since.
“On TikTok last year there was this trend that said lesbians can wear anything on earrings. People then got the most ridiculous shit and put it on earrings,” she said. Inspired by the TikTok, one day when she was pining through Look Sharp with her friends, she stumbled across small dinosaur toys.
