Biden administration makes reopening schools top priority in COVID pandemic plan

The Biden administration is pushing to reopen schools despite recent numbers indicating January will be the deadliest month of the pandemic to date. CBS News' Meg Oliver reports, and then Dr. John Bradley joins CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss when vaccines will be available for children and how parents can prepare kids for the return of in-person learning. He also explained the variant of the virus spreading in California and what residents can do to protect themselves.
