[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly DCPS teachers who are not in person, be it due to medical reasons, principal decision, or lack of students, were not able to get the vaccine in February. It was irresponsible and deliberate that DCPS gave IPL teachers their first shot the week before schools reopened. At least this Tuesday was all virtual due to the side effects of the second dose. Term 4 is coming sooner than you think. Schools could open more classrooms if the numbers keep going down and the weather improves. All DCPS teachers and staff should be given the choice to be vaccinated. Like now![/quote]

Do you actually think that DC should have set aside enough of its allocation of doses to offer vaccines to all DCPS teachers during February thereby taking it away from frontline workers and residents 65+  just so virtual teachers could sit it out at home?

GMAFB, the entitlement is stunning. BTW, the choice is there now, sorry teachers are going to have to go through the vaccinate DC process like everybody else instead of the Children's program which by the way was handled beautifully. Plus free soup from Jose Andres and trip to/from Dunbar via Uber; I feel like I hit the lottery with the vaccine and appreciated for volunteering to return in person.[/quote]

I am a teacher who would go back in person, but wasn’t given the option.  I do not think we deserve the vaccine for sitting at home for a year.  Have I been working? Yes.  Have I been at risk of COVID? No.  Teachers are incredibly lucky that we could stay home-  the vaccine should go to those who have been working in person for months and the vulnerable among our communities.  Teachers sound so out of touch with this situation.[/quote]
