Are You Ready For Your Child To Go With No Mask In Buffalo?

There has been plenty of discussion and concerns about the mask mandate for children in summer camp and daycare programs. For most parents, it was that thought of their 2 to 5-year-old wearing a mask for a full day, in most cases 5 or 6 hours. Now that New York State is not requiring kids in daycares to wear a mask, do you feel comfortable letting your child go to daycare?

According to WGRZ, there have been days of complaints and threats of lawsuits against the state, now the policy has been changed for children two to five years of age, they will no longer be required to wear a mask. The original policy was in line with the guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. I know there are parents excited about the latest changes, but I'm not sure if that is the correct solution.

If we are telling people to hurry and get vaccinated and still wear your mask, we are not out of the woods yet, I think that there should still be some concern for kids at the age as well. I know that kids that age are not going to wear a mask all day, and probably not even for a few hours for most. As a parent, I would like to see what other measures are being followed by staff members and teachers that are dealing with the children.

Right now, vaccines are available for children 12-years and up, I think it will pretty difficult to get parents to allow their kids young than that to be vaccinated. I think that anyone working with children in the daycare programs should have to be fully vaccinated and show proof.
