The CDC is under pressure to revisit its COVID-19 guidance once again after a leading group of pediatricians called for students to mask up when schools reopen for the fall.
“We know that there are lots of kids in our school buildings who are younger than 12 and not yet eligible to be vaccinated,” said Dr. Lee Savio Beers, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is going against CDC recommendations telling parents that students and teachers should wear masks this fall regardless of vaccine status.
“I think that the America Academy of Pediatrics, you know, they’re a thoughtful group. They analyze the situation and if they feel that is the way to go, I think that is a reasonable thing to do,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
