[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren’t all teachers required to get the vaccine? [b]And why didn’t DC got prioritize teachers in early Jan? [/b]  I don’t understand how the Union is still fighting in person teaching if a vaccine is available. [/quote]

Because there are teachers that have accommodations that will allow them to continue working remotely. Teachers returning in person were prioritized for the vaccine; everyone else is still working at home. Reserving vaccines for all teachers is not equal to all of them returning in person, at least not in the immediate future. [/quote]

No teachers were not prioritized.  If they were, they would have started vaccinations the first week in Jan. Instead, DCPS started the last week of Jan and opened schools the next week.  And many teachers did not get a second vaccine on MOnday like DCPS announced. I my kids teachers say they cant get if for at least another week[/quote]

It’s rich claiming they’re not prioritized when they’re eligible and DC has vaccinated less than 5% of residents. The rest of us are here, mostly without a vaccine and no date for when we’ll become eligible.[/quote]

You read the stats wrong in the WaPo article. You are quoting the National rate. DC has vaccinated 39% of priority pop and 15% total population. We are ranked last in anything. Maybe you are reading the WashTimes?[/quote]
