[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t seen anyone demand the individual vaccination status of an individual teacher in this thread (or even on any thread).  I don’t really think that’s what anyone is asking for.  The issues seem to be about
—increasing safety in schools by having high vaccination rates among those who can get the vaccine
—lowering likelihood of school disruptions in the future for quarantines, which is important for students’ education and educators’ sanity
—trusting that teachers as a whole were being truthful when they argued they wanted to be safe in schools before returning.
—confirming that vaccine refusal isn’t a very common thing among teachers (at least for me, I would be very concerned with the DC education system if a significant portion of educators were anti-vaxxers)

None of those issues requires knowing anything about individual medical records.  It’s just about collecting data (with common privacy safeguards that are already used) and reporting rates.[/quote]

Maybe not on DCUM but parents have asked me directly if I'm vaccinated. When the answer was "no" (because it was early February), they asked when I was getting the shot. Also when our school reopened for more families during Term 4 parents again asked my principal which teachers were vaccinated and which weren't. Of course some teachers chose to volunteer that information.

My person health records are no ones business. I understand the purpose, but this sets a precedent on what could come with DCPS requiring personal information. My health records are mine. Yes your tax $ helps to pay my salary, but as a district resident of over 20 years, my tax $ also pays my salary. You don't get more say than me.[/quote]

I agree that nobody needs to know your personal info - but aggregated numbers, yes. kids have to report their vaccinations. [/quote]
