COVID has been here for about a year now, and there is finally a vaccine for it. 

Because of this, many people are debating on whether or not to get it and if it should be required to attend public schools. 

Most of us are ready for this pandemic to be over, and we need to do everything that we can to stop the spread. 

While wearing masks and social distancing can reduce the chances of you getting the virus, it isn’t enough to stop the spread so getting the vaccine can help prevent even more. 

If the vaccine can help prevent you from getting the virus then if you are old enough to get it you should definitely consider it.

According to the CDC, the vaccine is supposed to prevent you from getting the virus, and if you do end up getting the virus, it can keep you from getting seriously ill. 

Students who are old enough to get the vaccine may or may not be required to get the vaccine depending on what the schools say, they already require a mask and plexiglass. The vaccine is available to everyone 16 and older so some students and the teachers can get the vaccine and they should.
