As first responders and certain grocery store workers get vaccine prioritization, teachers in Saskatchewan are wondering if they’ll also get a chance to get it.
“It’s really good news to hear that first responders are getting priority treatment for vaccines, no questions about that,” said Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) president Patrick Maze.
“We would have preferred if teachers are on that list too because without having teachers running schools, as soon as you move to Level 4 (of the Safe Schools Plan, which calls for remote learning), then you have parents having to stay at home with their kids in many situations, especially in elementary schools.”
