East Bay school districts scramble to get students vaccinated ahead of deadline.

This educated article deals with students trying to get ahead of the vaccine deadline. The Antioch district had ninety-eight percent of its student’s total use of the vaccine which is no surprise to me because there are always that few percentage that get left out. Schools from seventh through twelfth grade must have proof that the student has obtained the vaccine which is good and bad because for good, it prevents other students from getting sick and bad because if the student was unknown to it as the student didn’t know about the vaccine or was part of that few percent that couldn’t receive the vaccine on time.

The law indicates that students without the vaccine will be sent home and the school will notify the parents about taking their child to acquire the vaccine shot which is not a great thing but it is a law.  After deadlines are passing, a fair amount of students is unable to go to school which is sad because I would like everyone to have a chance to learn and be successful in life. A lot of health departments within or out of the district have free clinics which I agree with because it saves time for people instead of being far away especially if the deadline was near. This comment was from a lady name Lisa Wilcox ("It's tough right now. Without this, we wouldn't have been able to afford it,") this comment catch my eye and made me feel relive because that person couldn’t afford it, by this health clinic being free of the vaccine, really save her sons education.
