I have heard very very little about vaccination of children (yea or nay). I am figuring my wife and I, our parents, etc will all be stuck by late spring...but I’m not sure what that will mean for the little guy, or what kind of risks being out will be after most adults are presumably vaccinated. So I’m perplexed as to what to do as well

From what I’ve heard Dr. Fauci say, they are just starting to test 14-to-16 year olds, and they won’t know the results of that till very late in the year. For kids younger than 14, it’ll be even longer than that. So it’s a mess trying to figure out what’s safe for kids, even after the parents and grandparents have been vaccinated.

My kids in that age range have been in school and playing sports for over 6 months now. Not a single cancellation of any kind in our district or the neighboring ones. It just hasn’t been an issue. The district’s that have closed have upwards of a 20% decline in attendance. Those kids will likely never recover. Natural selection is hard at work here, one way or another.

J&J vaccine is being distributed this week so that makes 3 vaccines available. Most likely you will not have a choice so you should just take what's available to you as all 3 will prevent you from ending up in the hospital. I'll take whatever one is available. I had Covid 19 in March of last year(few masks and testing was available then) and that was scary and did not feel like the flu in any way. And I'll keep wearing a mask in Flu/cold/Covid season as it just plain works.

Our daughter's 27, healthy, and by the time vaccinations roll around to her age group, I'm betting that the cocktail will be completely different. With all the new variants out there, what we've gotten in February will be very outmoded. Ergo, as a health care provider mentioned to me, you'll probably need a booster in a year. She's going to have to queue up in a CVS (in Columbus), and has no idea when or how that's going to happen. Ohio is doing a very good job of getting the vaccine 'out there'. FWIW

I read something like that too. Whole families have just disappeared. At risk youth either checked out, moved, on the streets or worse.

My kid is going back full time on March 22. So full week in, then spring break which I think they will take as a moment to decide if it was a bad idea or not. I told her to really only expect an uplift in Math and Spanish... well, Yoga I guess...

My kid has been in school since the year started, save the week after New Years. There have been a few cases, but it hasn’t been a problem. Plenty of rules and restrictions of course, but it’s been much better on all of us for him to be there. It’s going to get ugly with the teachers unions, school boards, and parent groups in some places, but we’ve had little trouble here.

We have been going half the time since mid Sept... so, she goes Mon, Wed and some Fridays... (She's got no more Fridays till they go all the way back because the other group had some snow days so they're even it up) They did remote from Thanksgiving week to Jan 7 or so (Obviously with the full Xmas break in there) to kind of get some time away in that big spike...

I've gotten 2 notifications of cases where she crossed paths with a positive, but not considered a close contact. No cases (during the season) in her soccer program, we did have 2 9v9 games where the other team had some precautionary holdouts where they didn't have positives but had close contacts. Well, I take it back, we did have one cancellation over another school not having enough kids for a team, and I have to think it was related, and the schedule did get scrambled before we started so, who the heck knows what it looked like to start.

What you need to know
Stay home if you have tested positive for COVID-19 or are waiting on test results, are showing COVID-19 symptoms, or have had a close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19.
Bring your own equipment, like gloves, head gear, helmets, water bottles, and bats, if possible, to limit shared equipment.
Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from other players when possible.
Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
Clean or sanitize your hands before and after practices, games, and sharing equipment.

Bucklion, San Joaquin Valley, where we reside, Kings County specifically, has designated that next after we oldies, will be teaching staff. This is after the first responders, the over 65ers, but before the grocery and bank workers. None of the teachers I know like this distance teaching, and from the parents, the kids aren't getting much out of it either. Hate to see a hole in this generation's learning. Any idea if tOSU is going back to full in-class teaching this fall? Daughter is looking at starting her MBA, but doesn't want to pay the money until they've got their s*** together.

Police, child care workers, anyone 60+ in Ohio eligible for COVID-19 vaccine starting Thursday

Gov. Mike DeWine announced the next phases for COVID-19 vaccine distribution in Ohio will begin this week and the age eligibility will be lowered to 60 years.

Phase 1C, which starts Thursday, adds new professions and those with certain medical conditions not covered in previous phases.

Those working in law enforcement, child care and the funeral service industry will be eligible in this next phase. Additionally, anyone living with Type 1 Diabetes, anyone who is pregnant, bone marrow transplant recipients and people living with ALS can get vaccinated.

Phase 2 of the state's vaccination distribution plan also begins on Thursday and adds Ohioans aged 60 and older.
