Updated Guidance on Schools, Camp Amid COVID-19
In updated guidance for the 2021-22 school year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strongly recommends in-person learning and urges all who are eligible to be vaccinated to protect against COVID-19. In addition to vaccinations, the AAP recommends a layered approach to make school safe for all students, teachers and staff in the guidance. That includes a recommendation that everyone older than age 2 wear masks, regardless of vaccination status. Given recent outbreaks of COVID-19 at summer camps, AAP also has released updated guidance on safety measures recommended at camps.
