*

p<0.05 in a t-test comparing the proportion of vaccinated children for a given educational setting (e.g., in-person instruction) with a given demographic level (e.g., 18-29 years) to the proportion of vaccinated children who were homeschooled with that given demographic level.

a

In-person instruction was defined as anyone who has received in-person instruction from a teacher at their school in the last 7 days

b

Virtual instruction was defined as anyone who did not receive in-person instruction and received virtual/online instruction from a teacher in real time, learned on their own using on-line materials provided by their school, or learned on their own using paper materials provided by their school in the last 7 days

c

Homeschool was defined as anyone who did not receive in-person or virtual instruction and learned on their own using materials that were not provided by their school in the last 7 days

d

Estimates were suppressed due to RSE > 30%
