As California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Oct. 1 that all public school children will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine after it receives full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Californians shared conflicting responses to the news and how it may affect them and their children.

Currently, the government has approved the Pfizer vaccine for individuals 16 years of age and above, and older high school students in either public or private schools will be required to get the shot.
