School year COVID outlook: Smoother ride likely, but fasten your seat belts
The 2022-23 school year will look a bit different than the last couple of years in regard to pandemic restrictions. The year starts at a low level of community threat from COVID, and public health practices, such as masking, will be much more individualized and localized, explains Joe Domachowske, MD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Upstate. He predicts a likely improved outlook for the school year overall but cautions that its ups and downs could be unsettling to those who prefer strict, unchanging rules. He also summarizes COVID vaccine information for kids.
