All teachers get Covid-19 vaccine before schools open.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I myself am in the extremely vulnerable category with regards to Covid-19. I had my first vaccine last week. I have 3 children in school and worry so much for the safety of the children and teachers, teaching assistants and then some. If you truly want to fight this evil virus more must be done.
To help ensure the safety of my children myself and the lives of millions more I would like to see a rapid roll out of Covid Vaccines to all teachers and support staff. Teachers are frontline staff and face children who may not understand what social distance is.
