A) While children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccination, their parents, older siblings, grandparents, teachers, coaches and other adults are eligible. Widespread vaccination will lower the risk of children getting infected at home and protect family members if a child brings the virus home from school.

Precautions for school children spending time with grandparents should depend on the overall community transmission, vaccination rates of the community and underlying health of the older family members. Families may wish to choose safer activities such as spending time outdoors, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and wearing a mask in indoor public places if you are not fully vaccinated and aged 2 or older.
