As the husband of a member of support staff who is not an EIS member, i would like to see all school staff vaccinated.

And the EIS is not the only union who is trying to make the case for this. Various police unions and federations are putting their cases forward.

The thing is though, the ones we rarely hear a voice from are the Taxi Drivers, Bus Drivers, Shop Workers. and it is us who should start to shout if things change and they are forgotten about.

As to slowing things down, i have my doubts on that as Cohort 6 that is being dealt with just now, i believe quite rightly doubled in size overnight to include carers and their immediate families, and i expect some of these are harder to identify than lists that are sitting in HR departments.
