90% of teachers have received at least one vax dose by Nov.1 deadline

[Anonymous]

seems pathetic.

teachers have been eligible to be vaccinated since march.

nine months later, only 90 percent have only had at least one dose, and even that 90 percent number is exaggerated because it bizarrely includes people getting (likely phony) exemptions from having to get vaccinated.

It sucks losing a teacher mid-year like that, although I agree with the mandate. I just wish they had been mandated to get the shot BEFORE the school year started to avoid this disruption (and the two months of exposure to unvaccinated teachers!)

+1 we might have (had) the same teacher. It's disgusting. I feel like I should have had the right to know I was exposing my kindergartener to an unvaccinated woman.

NP. I was wondering if this was my teacher until you said "kindergarten". Now I wonder if the Nov. 1 date was the "cleaning house" date for charters with unvaccinated teachers.

And yet you still aren’t homeschooling.

Just an FYI that wouldn’t have helped, both dcps and charters have a ton of vacancies.

I'm confused about what you are responding to. Helped what? Helped to require the vax before the school start date?

At any rate, the teacher that left was replaced the next day with an experienced teacher so I'm not sure there was an issue there (at our specific charter).

Helped them make sure they would have a long term teacher. Vacancies are getting harder to fill regardless of the time of year.

We had a vacancy in our DCPS not vaccine related and it was filled by an experienced teacher. It just happened to be the teacher that services our English Language Learners. So there’s still a vacancy, and there are now kids not receiving services they are entitled to.

Why do we even count people who are only partially vaxxed? What is the point? Is it just to make the numbers look better?

[Anonymous]

the city said today that 84 percent of staff in DCPS is at least partially vaccinated and 93 percent of charter school staff is at least partially vaccinated.

go charters!

How does this help anything? A large majority of teachers who got the vaccine in the winter were back for the end of the school year. A huge percentage of teachers are currently vaxxed and the rest will be fired. Absurd that you think that a few anti vax teachers mean the rest of us were not happy to get the vax and go into work.

+1 and exactly what i was thinking.

our school is 100% vaxxed - we are a title I school too, minority majority school.

WTU is pro vax. I don't get these anti-vaxxers

I'm sure vacancies are hard to fill, but it would have avoided the disruption of having a teacher leave mid-year and be replaced.

i had one teacher in her 60s who wanted a certain type of vax to be available (she didn't want J&J and I can't remember if she wanted Pfizer or Moderna).

she hated on-line teaching, she got the vax she wanted and returned when it was possible.

i don't get these teachers who don't vax

Ok, so how many teachers are currently fully vaccinated? I don't care about people who are only partially vaxxed.

Do we even have data on how many teachers are fully vaccinated?
