(ABC 6 News) - The new school year is getting closer, and many are wondering how the students are going to stay safe. Especially when children under twelve don t yet have a vaccine.
Child vaccine trials started back in the spring, but will kids have one in time for going back to school?
Local health experts say probably not.
These trials are a bit trickier maybe than the adult studies because when you look at the childhood age range the immune system of a six-month-old can be quite different than a six-year-old or a ten-year-old for example, Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Mayo Clinic, said.

(ABC 6 News) - The recent Rochester Public Schools board meeting turned into a heated discussion about critical race theory.
It was the new superintendent s first meeting, and dozens of people showed up to speak out against teaching the theory in classrooms. The public forum was full of cheering, shouting and anti-black lives matter signs.
But critical race theory wasn t even on the meeting s agenda. School leaders claim it isn t even an option for the district. The new superintendent told ABC 6 News that Rochester Public Schools is committed to equity, but was never planning on integrating critical race theory.
