Terry - I'm not sure I understand why you would need to have 75 million doses all ready at once for the kids. If you closed all schools in a pre-emptive fashion before there was any exposure in some communities why would all the kids need to be immunized - because they belong to a particular class?

Also, I know the pbulic engagement phase of the pandemic response received feedback about the importance of saving children but the definition of critcial infrastructure is important to examine. Depending on how the pandemic unfolds and who is most susceptible, I hope there is an adjustment factor that allows for "critical" to include the folks who keep the lights and water running if higher than projected rates (50-70%) are unable to work and the AR exceeds 40%.
