Question: Should I wait until mass vaccination is available at my children's school or vaccinate them as soon as possible?

Answer: Plans are still being developed in terms of how the vaccine will be distributed. It's possible that it will either be in pediatrician's offices or in local schools perhaps or even in the public health clinics. We are unable to predict that at this time for specific localities so parents should just be aware to be in touch with their pediatricians or childcare health providers to get this information in terms of how to obtain the vaccines for their children.
