Households face increased health risks and potential future healthcare costs from COVID-19 complications. Parents may experience productivity losses from caring for sick adolescents. Families in lower-income brackets may face greater economic burden if illness prevents school/work attendance.

Potential policy responses include mandatory vaccination requirements for school enrollment, incentive programs, mobile vaccination units, and public awareness campaigns. May require reallocation of healthcare resources and budget adjustments.
