Parents leaving P.S. 21 Monday afternoon in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, said only about eight students were waiting inside.

The scene was similarly peaceful at P.S. 5, also in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Candace Floyd, 36, said it was a relief to get her 10-year-old son, Jeremiah Augustine, vaccinated. He and his classmates have already had to quarantine twice after potential exposure.

“You’re in and out,” Floyd told me as she left the clinic.
