Your employer will need to be flexible this year. That's the word from pediatricians as the school year draws near.
There are concerns about the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus, which could mean more time at home for both kids and their parents.
âThe question is, if youâre vaccinated and if youâre exposed, do you need to quarantine at home or can you go back to work? And itâs going to depend on your work,â said Dr. Tanya Altmann, a Los Angeles area Pediatrician, and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
