Joe Biden to Parents: Make Children Wear Masks When They Leave Home and Stay Away from Unvaccinated People

President Joe Biden urged American parents Monday to stop allowing their kids to spend time with unvaccinated people and to make sure they wear masks.

“Make sure that everyone around your child who can be vaccinated is vaccinated,” Biden said, referring to other parents, adults, and teenagers in their social circles.
