TORONTO Teachers in Ontario are calling for immediate vaccinations for school staff as schools in most regions are set to remain open for in-class learning after the delayed spring break. With the break approaching, teachers want their vaccinations to begin so they can keep students and themselves safe when classes resume. âIt s disappointing, it s disheartening,â elementary school teacher Lyndsay Houghtling told CTVâs Your Morning on Wednesday. Teachers say the clock is ticking, even if the goal is to get teachers vaccinated before the next school year begins in September. âMid-May is about the latest that it can possibly happen where we will still have vaccines for education workers, and have all of the second round of shots finished in time for the new school year, but that does nothing for this school year,â she added.
