MIAMI (WSVN) - A Miami school that made headlines for saying it would penalize teachers who got the COVID-19 vaccine is now requiring students who get vaccinated to remain home for 30 days after each dose.
Parents of students at the Centner Academy recently received a letter from its Chief Operating Officer that read in part,
if you are considering the vaccine for your Centner Academy student(s), we ask that you hold off until the Summer when there will be time for the potential transmission or shedding onto others to decrease.
The letter also spelled out a quarantine rule for parents who still choose to vaccinate their children.
Because of the potential impact on other students and our school community, vaccinated students will need to stay at home for 30 days post-vaccination for each dose and booster they receive and may return to school after 30 days as long as the student is healthy and symptom-free.
Centner Academy first made headlines in April when the schools owners told their staff to hold off on getting vaccinated.
Were not telling teachers that they cant get [the vaccine], were just simply asking that they hold off a little bit, said Joshua Hills, a parent and Centner Academy employee, back in April.
The school owners said the reasoning was over concerns on side effects and fears that those who get the shot will infect those who dont get it.
