16. That is true. It could.

Considering the number of people currently unwilling to get vaccinated I don't see that as something that will be picked up in the private sector.

There is the possibility it might be required for the military, but that is not a given. It is probably a given that they will at least have targeted requirements.

It will help but will have almost zero impact on those being referenced by the op.

There are too many variables right now to understand how this will all work out. We just need people to get the shot right away. If for nothing else it will slow the potential for other variants.

Schools would be major if the vaccine has staying power. We are uncertain of that. It's probably going to take longer for younger age groups to be approved as just today upper middle and high school students were approved under the emergency order.

I do think Pfizer and the others being able to market it directly to the public might help. That can only happen with full approval.

It's a process. LisaL May 2021 #1

Full approval won't change anything. tymorial May 2021 #5
Well, it will allow the military to force their people to take it BoringUsername May 2021 #9
That is a very small number of people, overall. RegularJam May 2021 #17
