• More important years coming back first to enable lateral flow tests to be done effectively.

    Teachers vaccinated.

    Mask wearing in class for older years.

  • Why should teachers be vaccinated ahead of shop workers?
    I think mask wearing isn’t a terrible idea, they could announce that.
    Is lateral flow testing on that scale viable?

  • Why should teachers be vaccinated ahead of shop workers?

    Because most essential shops have protocols in place to limit transmission, whereas the evidence from earlier this winter is that school age children are a significant factor in driving up infection rates. It’s also much harder for teachers to take steps to limit the risk of transmission as they are in classrooms with children for significant periods of time.

  • Why should teachers be vaccinated ahead of shop workers?

    They shouldn't but both groups should be vaccinated ahead of me and that doesn't seem to be the intention either. Perhaps because it is hard to identify them all?
