Children don’t need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to safely resume in-person instruction in schools, Adm. Brett Giroir, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said on Dec. 27.

Giroir, also the U.S. assistant secretary of health, told “Fox News Sunday” that current data shows it is “safe and very important to get children back in school even before they’re vaccinated.”
