JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. â Hundreds of parents gathered outside the Jefferson County Public Health building Wednesday morning to protest new guidelines mandating students ages 3-11 wear masks indoors across Jeffco Public Schools.
The new back-to-school guidance also recommends vaccinated students 12 and up wear masks, regardless of vaccination status, and state masks are required for unvaccinated staff but recommended for those who are vaccinated.

On a recent hot Thursday evening at the Broadway Neighborhood Center in Iowa City, a group of University of Iowa student volunteers set up a mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
The neighborhood is filled with apartment complexes that house many immigrant and refugee families, but the clinic struggles to attract local residents.
Andrew Coghill-Behrends, the site director for the community center, hit the streets. His goal this day was to get at least 20 people in for the shot.
The clinic s staff distributed multilingual flyers, but residents may not have seen them, he said. It s really about talking to people and seeing if you can find them where they re at, and encourage them to come over, he said.
