i would tell them that they should keep their kids in school and the reason is that we know that schooling is essential and also we know that there are ways for us to make schools really safe. i understand that this is a really frightening time, especially for parents with children who are still unvaccinated. i would say to those parents if they are if the kids are 5 and older, this is the time to get your children vaccinated because of how much this virus is all around us. we have a choice. we can get our kids vaccinated and give them really good protection, especially against severe illness. or we can let our kids face the virus, so please do not wait to get your kids vaccinated. for parents, whose kids cannot get vaccinated who may be younger than 5 and are going back to preschool or kindergarten or daycare, there are still ways to keep your child safe, as well. making sure everybody else around the child at home and in the school are vaccinated and boosted is one. also, maflk m
