Last Friday, Lakshmi Ganapathi’s son turned 5, and finally became eligible for his first Pfizer COVID shot. Ganapathi’s family had been anticipating that moment for more than a year, yet as of late, she can’t help but feel the slightest bit deflated.

It’s that time of year again—you know, the time when I stop splurging on strappy sandals and flimsy dresses and start focusing my funds on coats, boots and other cold-weather gear. This year in particular, I’m on the hunt for a few good winter jackets I can fit seamlessly into my wardrobe without sacrificing style.

In August 2020, the school superintendent in Omaha, Neb., approached a microbiology lab at the local university’s medical center. School districts across the country were starting to design pilot programs for routine COVID-19 testing in the coming fall semester, and Omaha Public Schools wanted to join the trend.
