Age Structure and Policy
This week’s review will be more roundup than blog post, pointing you to new studies, analysis, and essays from the past week:
Vaccines
Persistent Post-COVID Syndrome (PPCS)
As school district administrators and policymakers turn to planning for the future, they are increasingly focused on potential interventions for remediating learning and developmental setbacks due to pandemic-caused schooling disruptions.
COVID-19 Vaccine Communication
Using Communication in Multiple Ways During the Pandemic
In this commentary, the authors reviewed recent literature about the health effects of quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sequelae in adults six months after COVID infection
The national conversation over K-12 schooling in the context of the pandemic continues fervently, including then President-Elect Joe Biden’s December pledge to reopen most school buildings for in-person instruction as swiftly as possible.

As school district leaders and educators worry about the ramifications of pandemic-induced disruptions for children’s learning and development, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly focused on interventions that could address disparities and help remediate and catch up lagging skills. Two popular areas of discussion are targeted tutoring programs and summer programs, and newly released working papers highlight the potential of these avenues for intervention.
