... do you know about this? I’ve seen a lot of posters over recent days saying things like ‘I’d assume that teachers/education/nursery staff will have some priority’. The JCVI have put out their recommendation list and teachers etc are nowhere to be seen (it’s here: bit.ly/3pvWvm7).
If the government are serious about keeping schools/nurseries open, vaccinating staff is a no brainer. I can’t be the only one who has had to isolate myself due to cases in class and whose children have had to isolate multiple times! If staff were vaccinated, it would limit closures, which would enable everyone to work without the constant childcare juggle, including NHS staff and other key workers. Anyway, there’s a petition here if you want to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/554316
Let’s not have another argument about if teachers are at risk. Nobody’s suggesting they/we should be put at the top of the list above health/care workers, the elderly and the vulnerable! But surely before ‘the rest of the population’, many of whom can distance/wear masks/work from home etc? And this is about protecting continuity of education and childcare as much as it is about risk. If you agree, sign and share and if you don’t, let’s agree to disagree 
Sorry MNHQ if sharing things like this isn’t allowed!
