Board of Education, asked if about 27% of students in the Upper West Side of Manhattan have not been vaccinated against the new crown, whether the relevant policy can be changed.
Banksy replied: "I don't want anyone to be restricted by their Covid-19 vaccination status, and now, we may be on the other side of the Covid-19 pandemic." "Sports (including bowling), and outings like museum trips and, of course, high school prom.
Vincent Hazan, 17, a grade 12 student at Fort Hamilton High School, said he hoped the rules would be changed so he could be with his girlfriend of more than a year , 15-year-old Elizabeth Oliveri-DiSalvio attended high school prom together.
Hazza said: "I only have one high school prom, and I won't see any of my friends for a while after graduation. It's not fair to her and it's not fair to me."
To New York Mayor Adams (Eric Adams) exempted athletes and performers from the new crown vaccine order, and Hadza expressed dissatisfaction with this."It's not fair that celebrities can do what they want," Haza said.
It is reported that high school prom is usually held in May.
Banks pointed out that the final decision on whether to relax the extra-curricular new crown vaccine order rests with New York Mayor Adams. "As the high school prom season approaches, the New York City Department of Education and the New York City Department of Health will be closely monitoring the new crown epidemic data and will make further announcements," a representative of
New York City Hall said in a statement.
