@suzanne2 I am so sorry to hear the news for your young student. Sad to grow up without his mom. I agree. No one knows the mother’s medical history. There seems to be a misconception that being fully vaccinated means no hospitalization. That is not true. Let me remind everyone by becoming fully vaccinated it can lower your chances of becoming severely ill from a covid infection. There is still a possibility, although lower, for hospitalization and even death. A fully vaccinated individual can contract covid and transmit it to others. As a member previously had posted......no vaccine is 100% effective. We do our best when making our decision.
