mandate regardless of vaccination status masks are not required outdoors. well, in the last school year. the school district reported no outbreaks at schools summer camps or learning hubs when schools did do the in-person learning in the spring. only 7 covid-19 cases reported involving in-school transmission now we heard last hour from the executive vice president. the teachers union saying that they don't expect to have 0 cases because this community transmission, there's in-home transmission. so that's why they have a plan in place. let's hear now from the superintendent. >> talking about why they have their teachers fully vaccinated in the hope. but this will prevent spread of covid. >> given that we're in the midst of rising cases. a new variants in the community vaccine requirement is a necessary step keeping our students staff and family say we're giving our employees until august 31st to submit vaccination verification.

3rd shot from people with poor immune systems doctor reena subramanian an infectious disease physician at stanford adds those unvaccinated are still at risk. mostly the people are either unvaccinated or people who are vaccinated. but have a very poor immune system. and that's why we're concentrating on. giving the shot 2 people who really couldn't develop of good antibody response from the first to the fda and cdc's approval of a 3rd covid shot for the immunocompromised. a first step. many health experts believe. >> but doctor alley has soon an infectious disease expert in huntsville, alabama, hopes it will pave the way for everyone to get a 3rd shot. honestly, i think. >> everybody get and of needing a 3rd booster dose soon needed as an extra line of defense of the surging delta variant under the emergency use authorization. those who received organ transplants or have certain cancers or other disorders. >> should be able to get a 3rd
