Washington, D.C.’s vaccine mandate for students over 12 years old has been the subject of major controversy, and is now being put to the test after thousands of students returned to school this month without being vaccinated.
The city, which has one of the most aggressive mandates in the country for students, has now announced that enforcement of the mandate will be delayed until Jan. 3.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved vaccines for children as young as 6 months old. Research, though, has repeatedly shown children are far less likely to experience serious harm from the virus.
