[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A growing number of cities including New York City and San Francisco are requiring all government employees to be vaccinated including teachers. DC should join them. We shouldn’t allow anti-vaxxers working on the public dime to prolong the pandemic.[/quote]

I think currently NYC is only requiring vaccination for health care workers, not all government employees.  And vaccination is required, it's just those health care workers have to get tested weekly if they don't vaccinate.

And San Francisco is requiring vaccination once the vaccines are out of EUA and fully approved.  And the requirement doesn't include teachers.[/quote]

As a teacher, I'd be fully fine with them requiring it, assuming it holds up legally. Practically though, there's no way they could replace that much of their workforce prior to the beginning of school. Even if 90% of teachers are vaxxed (which is possible, but certainly disproportionate), that would mean hundreds of roles would need to be staffed at a time when there's already a teacher shortage.

So the choice is endanger people who can't yet be vaccinated or have larger class sizes?  Hmmmm....[/quote]
