Make the COVID vaccine a priority for teachers who can’t work from home.

What the petition asks
Add teachers and teaching staff in the top priority list of adults in the UK who require a COVID vaccine.
The government recognises that children carry and spread the virus without developing the symptoms themselves. They are silent spreaders.
Yet you expect teachers to go to work with said children because teachers haven’t and can’t be given the choice to work from home.
Teachers currently work without proper full PPE or priority list vaccine protection.
Major health and safety breach!!
Sort it out Boris 🤞🏼
