The Barrow County School System strongly encourages all eligible students and adults to get vaccinated. Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic. Following CDC guidelines, it is recommended that anyone not vaccinated should continue to wear a mask.
The CDC recommends everyone 5 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination for the safety of themselves and others. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is approved for use for ages 5-17. This vaccine requires two doses given three weeks apart.
Although fewer children have been infected with COVID-19 compared to adults, children can still:
- Be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19
- Get sick from COVID-19
- Spread COVID-19 to others
