Teachers, staff push back on Missouri not moving teachers up in vaccine priority     JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri (KMOV) Speaking Thursday from the Missouri State Capitol, top health official Dr. Randall Williams said the government is not considering moving teachers up in the priority for vaccine rollout, given how many elderly and vulnerable residents remain un-vaccinated. “Our North Star is our most vulnerable,” Williams said, adding that he looks closely at senior citizen vaccination rates each morning. “This morning, for [age] 85 and over it was 35 percent. For 75 and over it was 24 percent, and for 65 it was 25 percent.” 28 states, including neighboring Illinois, have made teachers eligible for the vaccine. In Missouri, teachers are not yet eligible as a profession, but some may qualify based on age or health conditions. Williams said he understands the concern for educators, but points to what the state government sees as an obligation to help those most at-risk
