[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you not explain to me why Hogan wanted to prioritize teachers getting vaccinated while simultaneously saying that vaccines weren't a criteria for reopening schools? why did he prioritize teachers over other groups of people who are more vulnerable if vaccines weren't there important criteria?

Is he just basically admitting that it's not possible to get everybody vaccinated by March? [/quote]

Yes.  He originally though there would be enough vaccines for everyone in Tier1b and 1c and so wanted to move teachers to tier 1b so we could finally get everyone back to work.

Then realized that there was no way there would be enough vaccines, but couldn't take back moving educators to tier 1b.

So it is being used as a carrot but with the understanding that in his opinion, schools are simply not a source of COVID infection so there is no health reason to wait for teacher vaccines before reopening schools to in person instruction.[/quote]

I disagree with the conception that schools aren't a source of COVID-19 infection.  I've spoken to other families in other states that experiences hybrid. All them confirmed quarantine and infection occurred once the schools re-opened.  As a parent of high risk child, I decided it was better off not sending DS back in person.
The only thing missing this year is social skills. However, I feel better taking the risk of health as priority.

Hope in Fall 2021 Schools staff will be more vaccinated and the vaccine for children 12  and up will be soon available.  I dont expect a childs vaccine be ready that fast, however I do feel more comfortable with the idea  of school staff being vaccinated.[/quote]
