“I would support employers and schools taking a close look at what they can do to push the envelope on this.'
Some U.S. hospitals are already requiring workers get the COVID-19, as are some universities and some law enforcement agencies — so will K-12 school districts be the next?
— Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer for the University of Michigan and a professor of medicine in the university’s Division of Infectious Diseases. “It’s about trying to make the learning environment as good as possible,” Malani noted, and also about limiting the disruption students and staff experience when schools switch between remote and in-person learning as case counts rise and fall, she said.
The mayor’s decision applies to teachers and staff in the city school system — the country’s largest school system — according to city Department of Education spokespeople. At least 60% of the department’s staff is already vaccinated, and that count doesn’t include staff who live outside of the city and may have been vaccinated elsewhere, they noted.
The Los Angeles school system is currently being sued by some teachers and staff over its rules on employee vaccination. The school system previously told MarketWatch it is not requiring vaccination and the case is pending. “I think no matter what, it’s going be a very difficult school year. I think, on a positive note, we are all more prepared than we were last year. Now we are in a better position to deal with that uncertainty,” he said.
She remembered getting a school email informing parents about the policy and compliance. “As a parent, that was a good email to get,” Malani said.
