[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in the DMV, teachers have been prioritized for the vaccine, and many are fully immunized.  This changes the narrative a lot, because it removes most of their concerns.

[b]So what we are finding here is teachers that don't want to go back even AFTER being fully immunized[/b], or that are refusing the vaccine.

In HCPSS, when teachers returned to school March 3, only about 25% had had at least one shot.  At this point, it is about 60% (at least one shot).  But the school said on 3/11 after they returned that at least 90% of the school staff was vaccinated.  The fine print clarified that 90% of the staff had first shot or was scheduled for a first shot.  I know that from talking to teachers that some that were "scheduled" for their first shot, they were scheduled for 3/27 (two teachers).  They had to wait that long because they were told by their administrator that they were not allowed to take off school days to go and get vaccinated because there were not enough subs to go around and that was the first weekend appointment they could find.

So, at least 40% of the staff population that was forced to return on 3/3 have still not had at least the first shot.  It's been almost 3 weeks since they had to return.

Additionally, studies show that for the first 12 days after the first show you have less than 50% protection from the vaccination.  And it requires 14 days after the second shot to be fully immunized from the vaccint.  That means that 60% of so have less than 50% protection from the vaccine if they have any at all.

In HCPSS, there are so few that are "fully immunized" as you  suppose above.[/quote]

My points were that:  1) once teachers are fully immunized they can't complain about how their workplaces are so much more dangerous than everywhere else,  2) you *DO* have fully immunized teachers here that are STILL not going back or are arguing that they shouldn't have to go back once fully immunized, 3) you have teachers who are refusing the vaccine and therefore arguing they shouldn't go back.  By refusal I don't mean "your doctor says you shouldn't get the vaccine."  I mean "your doctor says you should get the vaccine but you won't."
