Dcps and dcpcs vaccine plans for staff

Anonymous
Teachers have to be in class with kids whose parents have opted out of immunizations, but teachers must do it? Hilarious.

Also, here’s what’s going to happen on the board.-

Teachers are offered vaccinations in the next few months:

Posters-

1. They aren’t special! Why are they receiving the vaccine before X, Y, Z.

2. They received the vaccine so they should work through the summer.

3. They received the vaccine so they should take pay cuts.

4. They received the vaccine so my child’s teacher should never take a day off.

I could do this for hours.

I can’t speak for others but I saw on CBS news that only 42% of African Americans intend to get the vaccine. There are of course historical reasons for this. Seeing as the vast majority of teachers/staff in DCPS are people of color I’d venture to say that PP isn’t alone.


I would dearly hope a credentialed teacher would be able to understand the science of the vaccine...


I dearly hope you understand history. If you don’t understand PPs comment is not about science, you need to do some research.


I would dearly hope that a credentialed teacher of any race would understand the difference between historical incidents of unethical medical experiments and the current covid vaccine.

Dp: I understand the history and the mistreatment that recalls, but it should also be quite evident that this scenario is not like that history. Thinking people should be able to see the difference.


You're speaking from a place of privilege. This isn't about logic but history and coincidentally Covid has affected Black people (and Brown) the most, not due to genetics but as a direct result of this country's HISTORY.


I’m sorry but teachers are (supposedly) educated. There’s no reason for any educated person to believe in conspiracy theories about the covid vaccine. Zero.

Teachers and child care staff are in priority group 1b. They are behind the more than 85,000 healthcare workers (and critical healthcare staff) and adults/seniors in long term care.

Also, group 1b is really large so wouldn’t expect this group to be fully vaccinated until early Spring- like April (remembering both vaccines currently require 2 shots a couple weeks apart).

I don’t think they have announced anything solid for group 1b yet.




UGH. I just looked at DC's plan. the health care worker pool is HUGE. I love health care workers, but they seem to be falling into Stanford's trap of going by label rather than exposure level? For example, a researcher working from home or a pharmacist mixing in back doesn't necessarily merit the vaccine before some other folks.
Second, DC 'essential politicians" (more than 3,000 of them) in 1b? WTF?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ugh I thought the essential politicians were getting their vaccines from the non-dc batch

This is spot on!

I’m sure teachers will refuse the vaccine and demand never to go back. Can we fire them all yet??

I'm an RN working from home and I'm back on the list (as I should be). I believe the 85k is all people with in-person patient care jobs. A pharmacist should get it because they have to work in-person. Although they're all not face-to-face with patients, they're heading in to hospitals and drugstores daily--both very germy places.

A lot of non-medical essential workers have the same (or more) exposure risk to COVID as a pharmacist.

I am a dcps teacher who has volunteered to go back in February. I hope I get priority over teachers who are not going back. Health care workers should definitely go first though.

+1. Yes history is history but let’s be real. No one is using minorities today for experiments with vaccines. There is something called clinical trials now you know.

I mean Biden and the senators are getting it. Physicians and front line medical workers are getting it.

It is about logic. You can live in the past and fear or you can accept science which is data driven.

The DC website said the groupings were based on category "health care worker", not level of exposure. This is basically what Stanford did and got a LOT of pushback. 85,0000 seems really, really high for a city our size. Also not sure where they dug up 3000 DC politicians who are essential to DC govt. And put them in same category as teachers???? Cmon.

Pharmacists will also be essential for administering vaccine to others as well. . .

I would expect there to be a large overlap between the teachers refusing to go back into the classroom, and those who will refuse the vaccine. Neither makes decisions based on data. This doesn't bode well for kids being able to get back to school...
