[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]

Sadly, why? If you are planning to stay home, get vaccinated when your age/risk cohort is called. And lobby DC TO STOP GIVING 50% of DC VACCINE to out of state residents (as per recent NBC report).[/quote]

I am fine with DC giving vaccines to essential workers who work in the district. Doing so staffs our hospitals, grocery stores, daycare centers, etc. And any teacher who is willing to work in person in DC but lives out of state? Yup, I think they should be prioritized as well.

Teachers working from home should have no more priority for the vaccine than any other white collar office workers who has been working from home since March. They wanted to be treated like regular office workers instead of essential workers. That’s what this means.[/quote]
