Philadelphia, PA - Department of Human Services (DHS) Acting Secretary Meg Snead, Acting Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson, and Acting Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health Dr. Cheryl Bettigole today visited the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia to outline guidance to keep children and their families safe while children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.
“As adults and older children continue to get vaccinated, many parents may have questions about what activities are safe for them to do with their children this summer. The Wolf Administration remains committed to helping parents keep their families safe as we reopen and more normal activities return,” said Acting Secretary Snead. “As summer approaches and more and more Pennsylvanians are getting vaccinated, we are all hoping to return to some sense of normalcy. But this pandemic is not through yet, so I urge everybody to follow this guidance and continue working together to prevent further spread of COVID-19 between children and families so we can celebrate the summer safely.”
“Stopping a pandemic requires using all the tools available, and one of the best tools we have to defeat COVID-19 is the vaccine,” Dr. Johnson said. “COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and help to protect those who cannot get the vaccine yet, such as children under the age of 12. We’re urging parents of young children to consider getting vaccinated, as this is a way to keep yourself, your children, friends and family safe while participating in summer activities. We are continuously working to get important vaccine information out to all Pennsylvanians across the state, because good information leads to good decisions. We have the power to stop the spread of this virus by getting vaccinated.”
"We are delighted to welcome Acting Secretary Snead, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Bettigole as reopening progresses and families plan for a summer in which young children cannot yet be vaccinated," said Patricia D. Wellenbach, President and CEO, Please Touch Museum. "It is so important that families continue to be diligent in protecting children from COVID-19, even as the risk lessens with increased vaccination. For us at the Museum, one of the key reasons we will continue to require all grownups to wear masks while visiting here, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated, is to positively model behavior for our young guests. We will also continue to maintain our intensive cleaning protocols and timed ticketing even as we restore capacity throughout the summer. Our singular goal is to provide families with a fun, safe experience that allows our little ones to rediscover the joy of playing together and explore how to positively re-engage in the world around them after more than a year in the pandemic."
DHS and its Office of Child Development and Early Learning, or OCDEL, along with the Department of Health, want to reiterate guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC recommends that children under the age of 2 do not wear face coverings. Children between the ages of 2 and 12, however, should wear a face covering in public settings, at events and gatherings, and anywhere indoors when they will be around other people outside of their household.
If a child is unable to wear a face covering, the CDC recommends more low-risk activities, such as enjoying activities outdoors with members of their household or attending a small, outdoor gathering with fully vaccinated family and friends. Risk of COVID-19 infection increases if unvaccinated children gather from multiple households; therefore, the safest place to visit is outdoors. Children, regardless of age, with underlying medical conditions may also be at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 compared to other children.
Indoor activities can occur so long as all people involved take proper precautions, including wearing a face covering that fits snuggly, staying at least 6 feet away from others, and visiting in a well-ventilated space. This includes visiting with fully vaccinated grandparents without wearing face coverings or physical distancing, provided none of the unvaccinated family members are at risk of severe COVID-19.
All of this guidance, regardless of a child’s age or vaccination status, should be applied along with:
Washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds,
Making sure your child covers their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing,
Staying home if you are unvaccinated sick with, tested positive for COVID-19, or were recently (within 14 days) exposed to COVID-19,
And continuing routine doctor appointments and vaccine visits.
Any person, regardless of vaccination status, experiencing new or unexplained symptoms of COVID-19 still needs to isolate and be evaluated for COVID-19.

“Staying home if you are unvaccinated“
There you have it. Does anyone need more hints as to where this is all heading?
You know where you can put that recommendation?
Compounding the absurdity and frankly the totally needless waste of ink, breath, and bandwidth of the press release is the fact that Pennsylvania’s masking mandate will expire in twenty days on June 28.
Or sooner if 70% of adults are “fully vaccinated”.
So they’re shoveling this 5hit for the next three weeks.
Why even bother?
“Children between the ages of 2 and 12, however, should wear a face covering in public settings, at events and gatherings, and anywhere indoors when they will be around other people outside of their household.”
Quote…
Granted, my children are adults, but if they were minors I would be positively modeling behavior by doing exactly what I have been doing: living normal, no masks, no social distancing, ignoring unconstitutional orders from Marxists. They would hear me speak of freedom and never sacrificing freedom for safety. Since they are adults, they see and hear the same things. That shows what is inherently wrong with Tommy the Commie's thinking. Why would anyone arbitrarily change their behavior to deceive their children? Deception is not positive behavior.
This is absurd. Close to 90% of vulnerable people have been ‘vaccinated’ (the rest are probably living in the sticks). The young do not need it! They are better off simply getting it and having their humoral immunity kick the pathogen’s butt. Sighing. Asymptomatic spread is practically non-existent. And who of the vulnerable can they spread it to... since the vaccines supposedly have a 96% effective rate.
The vaccine industry is pure evil
The vaccine theory is invalid
The demoncraps are pure evil.
No wonder tgeyre the GESTAPO FOR THE EVIL INDUSTRY
HISTORY OF THE CARTEL
Excerpt. Read the whole horrible history
1955 Massachusetts reports 642% increase in polio since vaccinations began in 1954 with vaccination of 130,000 children. In response, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis states that the increase in cases was due to the fact that ‘no children were vaccinated there.’
1955 Massachusetts bans the sale of Salk vaccine.’
1955 Dr. Graham W. Wilson, director of Britain’s Public Health Laboratory Service, who knew about the NIH Salk vaccine trials, says ‘I do not see how any vaccine prepared by Salk’s method can be guaranteed safe.’
1955 US Surgeon General Scheele admits in a closed session of the AMA that ‘Salk polio vaccine is hard to make and no batch can be proven safe before given to children’. Despite this fact, the public is told that the vaccine is safe. The government announces that it has the intention to vaccinate 57 million people before August 1955.
1955 Surgeon General Scheele (who never practiced medicine a day in his life!) goes on public radio saying ‘I have complete confidence in the Salk vaccine. I urge doctors to continue vaccinations.’
1956 Seventeen states in the United States reject their government-supplied Salk polio vaccine.
1956 US government appropriates $53.6 million to ‘aid states in providing free vaccine to people under 20 years of age’.
1956 Idaho health director Peterson states that polio only struck vaccinated children in areas where there had been no cases of polio since the preceding autumn. In 90% of the cases, the paralysis occurred in the arm in which the vaccine had been injected.
1956 American Public Health Service announces 168 cases of polio and 6 deaths among those vaccinated. Censorship is then imposed on the reporting of reactions to Salk vaccine.
1956 Oral polio vaccine developed further by Sabin.
1956 The US Public Health Service and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (Rockefeller) put on a drive to ‘sell’ Salk polio vaccine to the public.
1957 Governor Knight of California asks the legislature for $3 million in order to insure vaccination for all those under 40 years old with Salk polio vaccine. The newspapers report that corporate profits from the Salk vaccine will be in excess of $5 billion. (Feb 6, 1957). Governor Knight notes there are 4 million Californians under 40 and signs the bill.
1957 Pertussis vaccination programs exist in all industrialized nations, with the US leading the way. The vaccine is promoted as ‘risk free’.
1957 Scientists isolate a series of Simian (monkey) viruses and discover that these same viruses contaminate polio vaccines. SV-40 found in both Sabin and Salk polio vaccines. (made since early ’50s), Information not made public. The same vaccines continued to be used until the early 1960’s.
1958 World literature now contains 107 cases of severe reaction to Pertussis vaccine (93 of those cases were in the US). At the Fountain Hospital in London, Dr. J.M. Berg analyzed the 107 cases and found that 31 of them showed signs of permanent brain damage. Berg calls attention to the danger of mental retardation as an effect of the Pertussis vaccine and emphasizes that ‘any suggestion of a neurological reaction to a Pertussis vaccination should be an absolute contraindication to further inoculation.’ The United States medical establishment ignores and suppresses the data. American physicians maintain that the damage caused is small compared to ‘lack of ‘serious’ reactions in children vaccinated.’ No data has ever been found to justify a basis for this conclusion.
1958 Verdict of $147,000 rendered against Cutter Laboratories in California for the crippling of two children with the Salk polio vaccine. Cutter Labs was the only vaccine manufacturer not part of the Rockefeller Trust.
And scumbag politicians trying to hold on to their control
