OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 15, 2020 /CNW/ - As Provinces and Territories finalize their rollout plans for the COVID-19 vaccines, the Canadian Teachers Federation (CTF/FCE) calls on governments across the country to include teachers and education workers on the vaccine priority list.
Every day teachers and education workers put themselves at risk of exposure. They are in close contact with students and other adults, indoors, for many hours at a time, every day, usually with poor ventilation. Even if schools try to maintain social distance, the reality is that sufficient physical distancing to prevent transmission of the COVID virus is not possible in many classrooms and schools.
