New evidence about the Delta variant’s ability to infect and spread even among those who are fully vaccinated has been particularly alarming for parents of young children who are still not eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine.

Many parents who thought their children faced limited risks of getting the coronavirus are now reassessing their stance.
