Fox News
Federal data indicates one-third of adolescents aged 12-15 are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as the school year gets underway amid rising infections and a divide over mask mandates.
"They can get immunized right now," Collins told CNBC co-hosts. "Sadly only about a third of them seem to have gotten those doses even as school is starting, that’s a lot of schoolrooms that could be protected if those parents would decide ‘yeah, let’s get our kids done.’" Emerging reports have noted tens of thousands of students and staff across the country in quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure or infection just weeks into the school year, including at least 23,000 staffers and students at metro Atlanta schools, some 8,400 students and 307 district employees in the Tampa area, and upwards of 1,000 students and staff in Fort Worth, Texas.More Related News
