Teachers and their advocates have been making it known that they should be changed to be included in frontline workers eligible for a vaccine.
The province, on the other hand believes that teachers can get their shot when their age group becomes available.
Health Minister Paul Merriman said during a press conference on Tuesday that both teachers and corrections officers are eligible if their age category comes online with the province.
“And again teachers are included in our age sequencing if there is some teachers out there I think this is towards the end of the break if there is an opportunity on the weekend to go to the drive thru and I might encourage any of them to do that,” Merriman said.
