(from EdSurge) While the news of rapid vaccine development and approval is encouraging, it remains to be seen how they will impact schools and when. A four-phase vaccine allocation proposal by the National Academy of Sciences, designed to provide an equitable framework for vaccine distribution, indicates that teachers and school staff should fall in the second category, behind high-risk health care workers and older adults in nursing homes and those with comorbidities to COVID-19, but ahead of kids, young adults and those in critical jobs who are only at moderate risk for contracting COVID-19. A vaccine for children may not be approved before the beginning of the next school year, and people may still need to wear masks after getting vaccinated.

With vaccines rolling out in 2021, there is anticipation that travelers will have to prove they have been vaccinated to enter a destination.
