Mayor Pope and Public Health Director Katherine Wells were joined by nurses from Lubbock-area schools to discuss how districts are handling the spread of the virus in our classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wells outlined the criteria for those eligible to receive the Pfizer booster.

She said typically children have a faster recovery time after catching the virus than adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of Health Services for Lubbock-Cooper ISD Kristy Rose said our school nurses have one main goal: to keep sick kids out and healthy kids in school. She said most of Lubbock-Cooper\u2019s staff is vaccinated and the district has seen less cases among teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child is sick, here are some screening guidelines to follow to decide when to keep them home from school:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fever 100.0 or higher<\/li><li>vomiting<\/li><li>diarrhea<\/li><li>known exposure to COVID-19<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child should be symptom-free for a least 24-hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All nurses agreed they have seen minimal spread of the virus within classrooms. Brezthill said he\u2019s seen most of the spread outside of the classroom among high school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As brands like Moderna are seeking booster approval, city leaders say you should stick with the same brand you received for the first two shots. Wells says while getting a booster is key, getting the community to get their first dose is just as important. The message remains the same \u2014 vaccines will help slow the spread and reduce hospitalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThings are better, but we need to stay the course,\u201d Mayor Pope said. \u201cWe are improving.
