All teachers to be on priority list to get covid vaccine.

What the petition asks
Please support me to get as many signatures as possible to help support these teachers as key workers who are also working in upfront, risking their lives for our kids.
By now we all know how important it is for our kids to be at school, but are teachers safe at school from this covid virus?
I agree that schools should remain open as our children require organised learning and only schools can provide this. However, the government should prioritise teachers to get vaccinated on top of their list so that they can support this vital sector to open as normal. Otherwise, it will be like sending your army to a war without any shields and armory.
