[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 80 yr old dad in Alexandria is registered with the city to be notified when he can get the vaccine. I believe he’s 1b? No notice yet. I’m going to be annoyed if a bunch of young teachers who have no intention of going back this year get the vaccine and he still can’t. [/quote]

Your Dad can stay home, however all essential workers who cannot work from home should get it first.  Not sure why your dad should get it over someone at a high risk job.[/quote]

1) because elderly are at higher risk of dying
2) because the elderly don’t all live alone. Many live in multi generational housing so can not isolate themselves

Have some compassion. [/quote]

I don’t disagree with the need for compassion, but teachers in situation #2 and worried for their elderly parents were told to suck it up buttercup.[/quote]

Those teachers should tell ACPS to kiss their heinies.

Teachers who care for elderly family members, whether that be in multi-generational housing or not, should not be pressured into going back into school to teach in person even if they get the vaccine.  Their parents lives are more important than teaching in the school building right now.

One of the vaccines has an efficacy of 75% and the most effective is at 90-95%.  Both of those stats were before the announced mutations, which likely means the efficacy of the vaccine decreases, perhaps even significantly.

As a parent I support ACPS teachers in holding their ground.  [/quote]
