5 TIPS FOR HEADING BACK TO SCHOOL We know students are happiest learning amongst their friends — and they learn better too! Use these 5 proven tips to keep your kids healthier and their school environment safer. Get vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19. Getting vaccinated is much safer than the risks of getting sick with COVID-19. Rigorous clinical testing has shown that these vaccines are safe and effective for everyone. Vaccines also help reduce the spread of new variants so students can continue to be in school safely. Stay up to date on all routine vaccinations. Vaccines prevent many diseases that can harm your children, including whooping cough, measles, hepatitis B, HPV, and COVID-19. Check with your child’s healthcare provider to make sure they are up to date on all their vaccinations. Keep a mask in your child’s backpack. Masks are strongly recommended in all indoor settings including schools, school buses and childcare, and may be required by your school district or county. The right mask matters! Kids are best protected with well-fitting N95, KN95, KF94, or surgical masks. Keep your kids home & test them for COVID-19 if they’re sick. Most viral illnesses, including COVID-19, are most infectious just before and in the early days of having symptoms. If your child is experiencing a sore throat, cough, congestion, fever, body aches, fatigue, shortness of breath or nausea, keep them home and isolated to protect others. Check local recommendations in your county. School districts and counties may establish local COVID-19 masking and testing requirements. It’s important to regularly check on the latest local guidance based on county transmission levels with emerging variants. Call your child’s healthcare provider or health clinic to get your child vaccinated. Or go to MyTurn.ca.gov or call 833-422-4255 to find a vaccination site near you.
