The lack of COVID-19 vaccinations among high school students in California is disappointing. While 69% of all Californians have received at least one dose, according to USAFacts, that number is only 9.45% for 12-17 year olds.
With the expected arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in the coming weeks, it is critical to still follow the social distance guidelines and wear a mask covering to further improve the state of the global pandemic and preserve the safety of the public.
