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