“The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly endorses the use of safe and effective infection control measures to protect children and adolescents. COVID-19 vaccination, ventilation, physical distancing, testing and use of a well-fitting and comfortable face mask or respirator are all part of a comprehensive strategy to mitigate risk and help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Masks remain a simple but powerful tool to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“The AAP strongly recommends that all individuals over the age of 6 months receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Additional layered prevention strategies may also be important depending on individual and community level risk…”
Weather Policy: Family Connections Playrooms close when the Cleveland Heights/University Heights and Shaker Heights schools close for weather. Please watch your local listing.
