#CallYourPediatrician
|
Masking in Schools
|
|
|
|
This toolkit will provide materials to help spread the word – YES, bring your child in and please call your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns! We know some parents are uncertain about bringing their child to the pediatrician for their scheduled well-child visit, or for immunizations – or if it is better to wait until after the pandemic. Pediatricians’ offices are open and have taken every precaution to ensure the safety of patients, families, and staff.
|
The PA AAP follows the National AAP guidance related to masking in schools; to best protect our children and patients against COVID-19 infection and transmission, schools and communities should take a multi-layer mitigation strategy, which includes masking.
The Chapter advises against lifting the school mask mandate as Governor Wolf indicated would likely be the case for schools in the Commonwealth, effective January 17, 2022 . |
