Cohort 8 - potentially essential workers Chick or nae chance of that? Will it still go on age you reckon?

Just confirmed the next phase will be working through the age groups. No priority for essential workers.

I can't really understand the logic of the teaching unions wanting staff prioritised for vaccination. It's already been proven they are no more likely to contract the virus compared to the general population.

Has that been proven? Sitting in a classroom with 30 kids who are mixing with hundreds of other kids daily... I'd probably say Teachers are certainly at a higher risk of contracting the virus compared to the general population. I felt that they should have been the next in line to receive it to be honest.

I would agree with that bud, especially when IMO the issue started up again with schools, colleges and uni's

Sorry TTT, you cannot use the information in that link to prove a case for denying teachers a vaccine!

Ask a few questions and you might soon realise that teachers were removed from most if the risk between March to August last year.
Not all schools were open,
Groups of schools were arranged into hubs, you were lucky there was 20 kids of essential workers in each hub,
ALL the teachers link to the hub were on a rota for attending hubs or online support done at their school or home,
Teachers and staff who were at risk were working from home and isolating.

Im sure if i wanted to, i could go on, but that is surely enough to say that the figures presented in the link are not worth the data, because i doubt they considered the circumstances surrounding them!
