Everyone Should Wear A Mask In Schools, Vaccinated Or Not, U.S. Pediatricians Say - NPR

The American Academy of Pediatrics released updated guidance for schools Monday, recommending that all students over 2 years old, along with staff, wear masks, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

In its guidance, the AAP says it recommends universal masking because enforcing masking only for unvaccinated students, as well as tracking the vaccination status of students and staff, might be difficult for schools to do.

The AAP's guidelines note that all eligible individuals should get vaccinated and that "it may become necessary for schools to collect COVID-19 vaccine information of staff and students and for schools to require COVID-19 vaccination for in-person learning."
