More than 10 months into the pandemic, mental health is a simmering crisis for many of the nation s schoolchildren, partly hidden by isolation but increasingly evident in the distress of parents, the worries of counselors and an early body of research.
Holed up at home, students dwell in the glare of computer screens, missing friends and teachers. Some are failing classes. Some are depressed. Some are part of families reeling with lost jobs, gaps in child care or bills that can t be paid.
An insufficient supply of the COVID-19 vaccine has hampered Napa Countyâs effort to immunize the segments of its population deemed currently eligible by state and federal officials, county public health officials say.
The county is eager to see as many of its eligible residents vaccinated as soon as possible, according to Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Relucio, and has worked diligently to create the infrastructure needed to support such a campaign. Still, the same obstacle has plagued the countyâs efforts since the arrival of the first doses in late December: there simply isnât enough vaccine to go around.
