As children return to school, the biggest concern for parents is the vaccination rates among teachers and students.
That’s according to a new poll from the University of Michigan involving nearly 1,700 parents nationwide. At least 62% of parents say their children would feel safer if middle and high school teachers and students were vaccinated.
Four in ten parents say their child is more enthusiastic about the upcoming school year.
