Vaccinate teachers before they return back to Schools

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should mandate that teachers receive a Covid-19 vaccine before they are made to go back on the 8th of March.

The Government clearly said when schools became a "Covid-19 Hotspot" making this a risky environment for teachers to be in. Schools being back will cause a teacher to become more acceptable to catching the virus as children are prime carries of Covid-19. Teachers are fundamental in our society as they provide future economic growth to students and provide a service to our country that is essential. They deserve to have the same protection as Key-Workers.
