I want to know if we are going to be able to ensure everyone working with kids gets the vaccine. Unless they have a actual medical reason we are a high risk family and can't risk kids being in class with adults that refuses to get the vaccine.



DCPS is not going to mandate a vaccine. They have already stated that.


I’m a DCPS teacher and I won’t be taking the vaccine.


Teacher here....why not? I’m terrified of covid. I’d have taken the vaccine yesterday if I could


Same here. I'm a nurse and counting the days.

Is it because of that man whose tongue swelled up? I'm hearing more people are allergic, which makes me hesitant.

A TB shot causes my arm to stay sore for months.

I'm a healthcare provider and just got the vaccine last week. I'd love to hear why you have already decided not to get it.

Teachers and child care staff are in priority group 1b. They are behind the more than 85,000 healthcare workers (and critical healthcare staff) and adults/seniors in long term care.

Also, group 1b is really large so wouldn’t expect this group to be fully vaccinated until early Spring- like April (remembering both vaccines currently require 2 shots a couple weeks apart).

I don’t think they have announced anything solid for group 1b yet.




Also the 20,000 is for teachers and school staff at all schools in DC. So that’s DC PS charter schools and private schools.

How will approvals of additional vaccines change the picture?

We are less than 10% in to the first 85,000 healthcare workers. It will be a long time before teachers get the vaccine.

They are probably just after the real estate developers.
